SunLive Competition


Boost your super mum with one of the greatest super foods there is this Mothers’ Day.

Chia seeds are renowned for their nutritional value – they contain the highest known combined source of omega 3, protein, fibre and antioxidants. These essential nutrients are so often missing from our modern diets. Chia seeds have a pleasant, mild taste, are gluten free and a fantastic vegetarian source of protein.

Every Chia seed contains 36 per cent fibre, 20 per cent omega 3 and 20.4 per cent protein. No wonder it is referred to as nature’s complete superfood.

The easiest way to incorporate Chia into your daily diet is to sprinkle it onto foods such as cereal, salads or smoothies and it can be added to lots of recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, baking and snacks.

The origins of Chia can be traced back more than 3000 years to the Aztec and Mayan civilisations of Central America, which used Chia as a food source.

Chia product range includes Chia ground seed, Chia oil, Chia bran and Chia white and black seeds.
