The New Flax?	Benefits

Chia is gaining in popularity and is bound to give the popular flaxseed a run for its money due to its higher content of Omega-3 fatty acids, fiber and the fact that chia can be easily digested without grinding (as is needed for flax.)

Another benefit is due to its superior antioxidant profile; chia does not go rancid and can be safely store for years without losing its nutritional value, unlike flax.
