Description
Whole chia seeds that are predominantly black/brown but have mottled coloration of brown, gray, black and white. Chia seeds are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, antioxidants, iron, and calcium. A 28-gram, or 1-ounce, serving of chia seeds also contains 5.6 grams of protein. Mixed with water, they can replace egg in vegan cooking used by soaking in liquid, in which chia seeds will "gel." Sometimes sold under trademarked names including Sachia, Anutra, Chia Sage, Salba, and Tresalbio.
