Gluten Free, Disease Fighting
Flour Made From Chia Seeds
The
Arrival of the Super Flour: Gluten Free, Rich in Omega-3 Fatty
Acids, High in Proteins and Fiber – It taste good and is
healthy for you too.
Nuchia
Foods Corporation now offers a Chia Seed Flour
that contains all the nutritional advantages of
Chia Seeds and delivers baked goods that have the taste
and texture expected only from wheat flour. Nuchia Foods
Corporation brings this Super Food to
the dining room table to help families eat better and live healthier
lives. It has been used to bake many popular foods, including
chocolate chip cookies, coconut and red velvet cakes, and the
Chia Seed flour brownies have been real crowd
pleasers.
A
small desert grain called Chia has been found
to hold the possibility of helping millions suffering from heart
disease, weight problems, diabetes, high cholesterol and even
some cancers. Could it be possible that nature has been producing
a natural “super food” since ancient
times and it has gone mostly unknown and unnoticed by the modern
world? The modern world has largely overlooked such a product
or even found it laughable. This is indeed the case of the Chia
Seed, also known as salvia hispanica l.
Many
laugh when they hear the jingle “Chi-Chi-Chi-Chia.”
This is the familiar slogan used to promote a popular
Christmas stocking stuffer, the Chia Pet ™.
When soaked in water these terra-cotta figurines sprout green
grassy hair. In reality, these healthful, edible seeds are a better
source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids than any food grown on the planet
- a full 10% more than flaxseed. Omega-3 fats protect against
many diseases and ailments including heart disease, memory loss
and inflammation.
In
pre-Columbian times, Chia Seeds were a component
of the Aztec and Mayan diets and the basic survival ration of
Aztec warriors; they even played a role in religious ceremonies.
As reported, 1 tablespoon of the seeds can adequately sustain
a person for an entire 24 hour period. The Aztecs also used Chia
medicinally to relieve joint pain and skin conditions. It was
a major crop in central and southern Mexico well into the 16th
century, but it was banned after the Spanish conquest because
of its association with the Aztec religion. Over the past few
decades, commercial production has resumed in Latin America. And
here is more good news: Insects hate the Chia plant, so organic
seeds could become easier to find in the future.
Chia
Seed Flour consistently exceeds consumer expectations.
The flour is the essence of what a super food should be. The health
benefits are extensive. In the evaluation of this product, Chia
has made believers out of ardent skeptics. It is Gluten
Free. Each serving of Chia Seed Flour
boasts an arsenal of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, plus
it has a full day’s supply of Omega-3, 9.4 grams of fiber
and contains other vital nutrients, including biotin, calcium,
phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, copper, niacin, and zinc.
Emerging
research shows that eating bread containing Omega-3 from Chia
Seeds can lower blood glucose levels in diabetic patients.
Omega-3 is clinically proven to lower LDL, or bad cholesterol,
and triglyceride levels, and increase HDL, or good cholesterol.
Omega-3 also stabilizes heart arrhythmia and acts as a natural
blood thinner, reducing the "stickiness" of blood cells
and lowering blood pressure, which reduces hypertension.
Chia
Seed Flour can promote healthy weight loss and relief
from arthritis, constipation, osteoporosis and inflammation. It
offers a variety of opportunities to improve overall health and
well-being. Nuchia Foods’ Chia Seed Flour
embodies all this and stakes claim as the country’s first
Super Flour.
Other
products are on the way. In addition to its flour there are plans
to launch other super food products as well. This summer you might
sit down to a blueberry or buttermilk pancake breakfast made from
Chia, or dunk your chocolate chip Chia
cookie into a glass of milk. Look for these, and other fine products
containing Chia coming to stores near you.
