CHIA SEED – the healthiest all-natural RAW 'super wholefood' on the planet!

Introducing our exciting, innovative, nutritious and powerful core product for use by bakers in bread making CHIA BIA™ (Chia Seeds - Salvia Hispanica L).

Did you know that CHIA Seeds are the highest plant source of Omega-3’s known to man? They are high in fibre, antioxidants and so many other vital nutrients.

CHIA is Salvia Hispanica L. - A uniquely beneficial seed (which is a member of the mint family - so free of pesticides). Originally discovered by the Aztecs in South America, who used it for its many excellent properties, and was known as the 'Running Food'.

CHIA in bread is also a great source of endless energy! (All our CHIA Seed has been approved by the FSA in the UK as a 5% ingredient in bread making.)

All CHIA BIA™ seed is sourced and approved by Dr Wayne Coates who is the foremost expert in the world on the growing and harvesting of Salvia hispanica L. and the rediscoverer of the seed. Dr. Wayne Coates has conducted extensive research in order to identify the seeds, growing regions, climates and other factors which influence CHIA's properties. This research gives him the knowledge with which he can select seed sources to not only ensure that the highest quality of seed is used in CHIA BIA™, but also that rigorous cleaning processes are used to ensure that CHIA BIA™ is comprised of only the highest quality, and cleanest seed.

Nutritional content:

We all know the need for Omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid) in our diet. Everything from depression and ADHD to heart disease and hypertension can be caused from a lack of Omega-3 in the diet. Did you know Chia is the highest plant source of Omega-3 known to man?

• Chia Bia™ has 2700mg Omega-3 per 15g serving.
• Chia can help to reduce cholesterol levels as well as helping in the reduction of high blood pressure levels.
• Chia is a very powerful anti-inflammatory.
• Chia is rich in antioxidants which protect its delicate essential fatty acids from oxidation. Unlike other sources of Omega-3 oils (e.g. flax, hemp or fish) Chia doesn’t require the artificial or added antioxidants such as vitamins in order to remain fresh. Therefore Chia seeds remain fresh for longer and don't require refrigeration.
• Chia has 5 times more calcium than milk and the calcium is more readily absorbed thanks to the traces of boron which is vital for bone health.
• Chia has 19 to 23% protein content and is a complete protein containing all the essential amino acids more than that found in traditional cereals such as wheat (13.7%), corn (9.4%), rice (6.5%), oatmeal (16.9%) and barley (12.5%)
• Chia’s protein is gluten-free.
• Chia provides 27.6 grams of fibre per 100 grams of seed equivalent to 100% of the recommended daily doses for adults. This soluble fibre cleans the intestines by bringing and transporting debris from the intestinal walls so that it can be eliminated efficiently and regularly.
• Great for all ages from infants to the elderly.
