Chia seeds, a nutritional bomb! 

Chia seeds are much more than just little seeds. They're considered a powerful superfood. Rich in essential nutrients, these little seeds offer a multitude of health benefits.

Rich in fiber

Chia seeds are an excellent source of soluble and insoluble fiber, making them ideal for healthy digestion. They help regulate intestinal transit, prevent constipation and maintain a balanced body weight by providing a lasting feeling of satiety.

Rich in protein

Despite their small size, chia seeds are rich in protein. They contain all the essential amino acids needed to build and repair muscle tissue, making them an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans looking for protein sources.

Rich in omega 3

Chia seeds are one of the best plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). These essential fatty acids are known for their cardiovascular health benefits, helping to reduce LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels and maintain a regular heartbeat.

Rich in antioxidants

Chia seeds are rich in powerful antioxidants, such as polyphenols and flavonoids, which help neutralize free radicals and protect cells against oxidative damage. This antioxidant action helps reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and premature aging.

By incorporating chia seeds into your diet, you offer your body a dense and balanced source of nutrition, essential for optimal health. Try our chia pudding with acai to discover a delicious new way to enjoy all the benefits of these extraordinary little seeds!
