Though discovered by the Aztecs centuries ago, chia seeds are well-suited for modern diets. These nutritional ninjas are equipped with magnesium, fiber and essential fatty acids.
With Nutiva Organic Superfood Black Chia Seeds, you can spruce up yogurt, salads, soups or smoothies. Like ninjas, you won’t detect them, since they have no distinct taste. But when added to water, chia seeds make a statement. They plump up, helping to keep you feeling full for hours. To the chia seed, it’s just another day at the office.
