Organic Chia Seeds 450g

The Aztec Superseed Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica) are the highest known plant source of Omega-3. Unlike other sources of this important Essential Fatty Acid (eg. Flax or fish oil), it is in a highly stable form due to its powerful naturally occurring antioxidants. The plant originates from the central Americas, it is heat loving and can grow in virtually desert - like conditions, with beautiful purple, blue or white flowers.
