Organic Traditions Sprouted Chia Seed Powder Details
Organic Traditions Sprouted Chia Seeds Powder are high in omega 3 fatty acids, found normally from fish sources. It is both qualitatively and quantitatively high in complete protein, both soluble and insoluble fibre, as well as anti-oxidants, magnesium, calcium, iron and vitamin C. These activated sprouted seeds deliver more nutrients per gram when compared to raw, non-sprouted chia seeds. The sprouting process improves digestibility and allows for a greater absorption of nutrients. Enzyme inhibitors are liminated and anti-nutritive compounds such as phytic acid are reduced. The sprouting process not only dramatically increases vitamins and minerals in the seed, it also doubles the antioxidant score (ORAC) making Sprouted Chia not only a nutritional powerhouse, but also more shelf stable than raw Chia seeds.
Sprouted Chia Seeds contain bio-available protein, essential vitamins and minerals and an impressive host of antioxidants, giving them an ORAC value of 2,500 per 1 heaping tablespoon 15 gram serving. Aztec warriors would consume a mixture of chia and water during hunting trips to ensure stamina and endurance. Simply add Organic Traditions Sprouted Chia powder to everything you eat to reduce the glycemic load of any recipe. This sprouted and cold-milled powder is a fast and simple way to enhance your daily diet with an extra boost of dense superfood nutrition.
