Nutrition Facts Chia Seeds

Chia Seeds are a dried food with much of its original water removed, which concentrates its flavor and nutrients. They provide protein, dietary fiber, monounsaturated fat, and polyunsaturated fat. Choose a dry, intact package without insects or moisture damage and store it airtight in a cool, dark place; refrigeration extends the quality of whole-grain and high-fat products.

Interesting fact

Milling changes more than particle size

Whole-grain flour retains bran, germ, and endosperm, while refined flour removes much of the bran and germ. Finer particles also expose more surface area to enzymes and oxygen, affecting digestion and storage stability.
