Chia Seed, organic (Salvia hispanica), 1lb

Touted as being the new 'superfood', Chia seeds are high in easily digestible protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins, soluble fiber, antioxidants, and minerals. Chia seeds readily dissolve into the water, creating a substance that looks like gelatin. This gel-forming action is due to the soluble fiber in the Chia seed. Chia seed has hydrophilic properties, and can absorb more than 12 times its weigh in water.*
