Properties
This preparation is especially recommended for people with constipation. Chia is rich in mucilage, a soluble fiber that helps regulate intestinal transit. In addition, strawberries and mangoes contain vitamin C, carotene and fiber.
We recommend chia seeds for dusting desserts, such as for fruit or for yogurt.
We will profit from Omega 3 content of this valuable seed. Omega 3 is a type of essential fat, hard to find in the current diet, as found in fish, shellfish, also present in wild plants, legumes, nuts and flaxseed.
