Chia Seeds
The seed that gave ‘strength’ to Mayans and Aztecs.
Named after the Mayan word for ‘strength’ this seed was a staple of ancient cultures for its ability to absorb 12 times its weight in water. Sprinkle on salads, add to cereals, or create your own energy drinks.
Try this. Stir 1-2 tablespoons of NuVitality Chia Seeds into 200mls of water. Let sit for 5-10 minutes. The longer it sits the more gel-like it will become. Add a squeeze of lemon or lime and a natural sweetener like honey or agave to taste.
