Chia seeds are an ancient superfood consumed by the Aztecs and Mayans. Chia is the richest plant source of Omega-3 fatty acids. It has a good range of B vitamins, more calcium than milk, healthy omega-3 oils, high levels of antioxidants, and important trace-minerals such as boron, which prevents arthritis and osteoporosis. The seeds are also a good source of dietary fibre. There is no significant nutritional difference between the black and white seeds.
