Organic Chia Seeds
Central Market
Overview
Organic Chia Seeds provide a good source of fiber and ALA omega-3 fatty acids. Meta-analyses suggest potential benefits for reducing blood pressure and waist circumference. However, evidence for improving lipid profiles and reducing inflammation is mixed. Benefits are likely to be observed after consistent consumption over several weeks.
The Good
Good source of dietary fiber, promoting regularity and digestive health (4g, 14% DV per serving).
Rich in ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), an omega-3 fatty acid, supporting cardiovascular health (2.14g per serving).
Contains essential minerals such as magnesium (40mg, 10% DV) and phosphorus (103mg, 8% DV), contributing to overall health.
The Bad
Potential gastrointestinal discomfort (bloating, gas) due to high fiber content, especially when consumed in large quantities.
May interact with blood thinners; caution advised for individuals on anticoagulant medications due to the omega-3 content.
Allergen warning: Manufactured in a facility that processes sesame seeds, posing a risk of cross-contamination for individuals with sesame allergies.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking increased fiber, plant-based omega-3s, and protein; those looking to support digestive health and satiety.
Skip If: You have a history of dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) or diverticulitis, or are on blood-thinning medication without consulting a doctor.
