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.
