Winter Park, FL, January 31, 2011–If you seek to offer cost effective, more nutritional, but good-tasting foods this seed may be your answer.  Omega 3 Chia® Whole Seed & Omega 3 Chia® Cold Milled Seed Flour are naturally Gluten Free, and considered a complete, perfect food. You may add chia to any of your recipes – pizza dough, breads, sauces, soups, meatballs – and now you have a Functional Food – High in Omega-3’s (good for heart health) Antioxidants (good for fighting disease) Fiber (for a healthy digestive tract) Protein & Essential Minerals.Â
Chia significantly enhances flavor, allows for the reduction of salt and/or sugar in a recipe (without losing the flavor profile), and is an exceptional choice for children’s meals since it is undetectable. Â
