Organic Heirloom Quality Chia Seeds in a 8 oz package. Chia seeds were one of the most treasured seeds of the Aztecs. They called them the "running food" because they have the ability for creating endurance.

This slowing in the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar offers the ability for creating endurance and has obvious benefits for diabetics. Carbohydrates are fuel for energy in our bodies. Prolonging their conversion into sugar stabilizes metabolic changes, diminishing the surges of highs and lows creating a longer duration in their fueling effects.

One of the exceptional qualities of the Chia seed is its hydrophilic properties, having the ability to absorb more than 12 times its weigh in water. Its ability to hold on to water offers the ability to prolong hydration.

Chia seeds are high in iron, boron, EFA's and fiber. Chia seeds also contain protein. All in all the Chia seed, a muscle and tissue builder and an energizer of endurance with extensive hydration properties, is a great food.
