Why Is "Raw" So Important?

Whenever heat is applied to any monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fatty acid such as found in Chia Seeds (Salvia Hispanica L), it changes from a "cis form" (horseshoe shape) to a trans fatty acid (straight shape) form. It's possible the body has no way to recognize this change and uses trans fatty acids along with the essential fatty acids when building new cells walls (essential fatty acids are the basic building blocks of all cell walls). Because of the change in shape, the trans fatty acids can create health problems for some people because the cell wall will actually have microscopic holes where the trans fatty acids are used. This can leave the cell vulnerable to any pathogens present in the blood stream.

How To Make Chia Seed Gel.

To make Chia Gel, simply add one third cup of Chia seeds (Salvia Hispanica L) to two cups of water, stir well to prevent clumping several times during the first few minutes. Place the Chia Seeds in the refrigerator in a sealed jar. It is best to soak the Chia Seeds at least 12 hours before use. This soaking time increases the available nutrients in the Chia Seeds. This will give you about 17 ounces of Chia Gel.

 Are Chia Seeds Expensive?

Ounce for ounce, nutritionally speaking, they are one of the least expensive foods on the market. One third cup of Chia Seeds (2 ounces) will make about 17 ounces of Chia Gel. This cost about $.95 (when you purchase the ten pound bag of Chia Seeds) for the 17 ounces of Gel. This will last, on an average, four days. That is about .29 cents a day. People who are using Chia Seeds for weight loss or concerns with constipation may use up to one cup of Chia Gel a day. It all depends on the individual and their needs. Incorporating Chia Seed into your daily diet will also enhance the nutrient absorption of all foods, especially nutritional supplements. Would you like to learn more about Chia Seeds? Click Here
