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. | |
