They are an excellent source of fiber and antioxidants, calcium, proteins and omega-3 fatty acids of vegetable origin. They produce a feeling of satiety, because they absorb 10 times their weight in water, forming a voluminous gel (soluble fiber). In order to assimilate omega 3 correctly, chia seeds must be ground or chewed very well. In any case it is advisable to put them to soak. In particular, chia fiber is very interesting because it is a type of mucilaginous fiber, which gives it uniqueness in the preparation of desserts, or smoothies (the fiber contained in a teaspoon of chia, is equivalent to the fiber contained in an apple), and reduces the glycemic index of the accompanying food. It is recommended to apply it in small quantities, between 2 and 3%, as an enriching supplement in all kinds of baked products such as: bread, cookies, pastries, spaghetti pasta (3 to 5%), whole grain breads (max. 10%) , etc. It can also be added directly as a nutritional ingredient in breakfast cereals and mueslis, in vegetable milks, yogurts, salads, sauces, soups, cereals, etc. Do not exceed a consumption of 15 g per day.
