Superfood Description
Sprouted Chia Seeds are a source of Calcium and Iron, a high source of Fiber and provide 3 grams of Omega-3 per 1 tablespoon 15 gram serving. These activated sprouted seeds deliver more nutrients per gram when compared to raw, non-sprouted chia seeds. The sprouting process improves digestibility and allows for greater absorption of nutrients. Enzyme inhibitors are eliminated and anti-nutritive compounds such as phytic acid are reduced. The sprouting process not only dramatically increases vitamins and minerals in the seed, but it also doubles the antioxidant score (ORAC) making Sprouted Chia not only a nutritional powerhouse but also more shelf stable than raw NET WT. 8 (227 g) Chia seeds. Sprouted Chia Seeds contain bio-available protein, essential vitamins and minerals, and an impressive host of antioxidants, giving them an ORAC value of 2,500 per 1 heaping tablespoon 15 gram serving.
