Chia seeds derive from the Salvia hispanica plant, a member of the mint family that comes from Central and South America. They are a useful alternative to animal products. In fact, they are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which are usually found in oily fish like salmon, tuna and sardines. Due to the high omega-3 fatty acids content, chia seeds have anti-inflammatory properties, and they contribute to maintaining a healthy heart and enhance brain activities. For example, some studies have found that they enhance memory, concentration and attention. Chia seeds are also rich in protein. Particularly, when added to yogurt, increasing the protein content. Therefore, they can provide a range of amino acids for vegans and vegetarians. They are relatively high in fibre. Two tablespoons of chia (10 g) correspond to more than one third of the daily recommended fibre intake (30 g). Chia seeds can be described as a complete nutritional source. They provide magnesium, phosphorus, protein, fibre and essential fatty acids. For this reason, they are recognised as superfood and as one of the healthiest foods on the planet. This is also why they are commonly used to create nutraceuticals. Considering their health properties, it is scientifically proven that chia seeds protect against heart attack and stroke as well as neurodegenerative diseases.
