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. 

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.   

Omega 3 Chia® seed and cold milled seed have been certified by the Nutritional Science Research Institute (NSRI) that all the natural nutritional properties of omega-3’s, antioxidants, fiber, protein, calcium, magnesium, iron and potassium survive the baking process. 

1 ½ Tablespoons (just 15 grams) of Omega 3 Chia® has:
