Since I first had to ask what is actually said Dr. Google. And I was really surprised at what these little grains all can! Chia seeds are exceptionally rich in antioxidants, protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. They also have the highest omega-3 deposits at all (about 18 grams per 100 grams). In addition, in the chia seed Vitamin A and B, potassium, boron, zinc, folic acid and also vital amino acids are included. An American study shows that Chia seeds have a natural blood-thinning effect, which significantly reduces the risk of stroke or heart attack. It was also found that chia seeds positively affect blood sugar levels and can regulate this.
Which is contained in the seeds:
Omega-3 fatty acids
Roughage
Proteins
Vitamin B1
Vitamin B3
Vitamin E
Calcium
Iron
Potassium
Copper

Phosphorus
Antioxidants
Chia seeds are also suitable for vegetarians and vegans. You can bake with them even as egg replacer cake! On the Internet there is even own Chia Seed pages where you can find great recipes and background information.
How to take the chia seeds to be? They can, for example, sprinkle over a salad, or enter into cereal. Or - and I have met them - soak in water. It is recommended to the ratio 1: Select 6. 1 part chia seeds and 6 parts water. They are the seeds with the water in a sealable tank t and let them mind. Sources 2 hours. The seeds swell up and there is a gel that is frankly getting used to. It looks like little frog eggs and actually tasted like nothing.
I then mixed in a smoothie with pure. I have some frozen spinach, orange juice and apples mixed up and then two EL Chiagel with pure mixed. Was really delicious and the seeds you have tasted nothing. I think from now on always comes Chiagel in the Smoothie ... is indeed healthy * grin *
