CHIA
PRO is the
absolute Perfect Super Food. Better than FLAX, Better than FIBER, High in
PROTEIN, OMEGA 3, OMEGA 6, & ANTIOXIDANTS - CHIA PRO is absolutely
Perfect. CHIA PRO is produced using an all new revolutionary Cold
Fracture Process (CFP).
This unique process enables
the seed to be fractured into 4 or more parts with no loss in yield or
nutrients. Many of the benefits of this mineral rich LT945 Salvia hispanica L
seed are derived from the pristine and stable properties of the 30 to 35% oil
content and the beneficial interaction of the oil with its naturally occurring
minerals. The ‘Cold Fractured’ seed allows certain enzymes to be released and
nutrients to be activated that increase the bioavailability.
CHIA
PRO captures
all of the nutrients, protein, Omega 3 Oils, Fiber, and Anti-Oxidants by
fracturing the seed. The RESULT... a completely bio-available versatile flour,
more valuable and nutritious than any seed.
WHY
CHIA PRO?
Unlike
the any other CHIA products available, CHIA PRO is the only one available in
flour form. Up until recently, the only way to process the black and white
seeds were to press or ground them thereby eliminating the oil present.

Chia
seed has higher levels of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) than flax seed. ALA is an
essential acid because it is not produced by the body. In fact, CHIA PRO
has the highest known whole-food source levels of Omega-3 acids, as measured by
percent of weight.
COMPLETE PROTEIN
- Compared to
other seeds and grains, CHIA PRO provides the highest percentage of
complete protein, averaging between 21% and 22% protein, with 18 amino acids.
Unlike many vegetarian sources of protein, CHIA PRO has adequate levels
of lysine and trytophan, with good levels of phenylalanine and glycine, and high
levels of arginine, glutamic acid and aspartic acid.
SOURCE OF FIBER
- CHIA PRO’s soluble fiber (which means it mixes with water) absorbs up to
30 times its weight in water, and is one of the most hydrophyllic compounds in
nature. Soluble fiber improves blood sugar control by slowing the absorption of
glucose (which also results in higher energy levels), and has been shown to
lower cholesterol. People with diabetes who consume sufficient soluble fiber may
be able to reduce their need for insulin or other diabetic drugs.
The insoluble fiber in
CHIA PRO binds to debris from the intestinal walls to help improve bowel
function, decrease bowel transit time and reduce constipation.
ENERGY/ANTIOXIDANTS
- Omega-3 essential fatty acids are highly unstable, and prone to rapid
oxidation. For this reason, we always recommend consuming any omega-3 containing
product (flax, fish oil, etc.) with vitamin E, as vitamin E acts as an
antioxidant, protecting these fragile oils from oxidation, and ensuring they
will allow the digestive system to convert these fragile nutrients into EPA and
DHA, and finally into the anti inflammatory prostaglandins, prostaglandin series
3. CHIA PRO contains cinnamic acids which prevent the omega-3 oils in
CHIA PRO from oxidation.
RECIPES
- Add CHIA PRO to jams, jellies, shakes, smoothies, hot and cold cereals,
yogurt, ketchup, sauces, breads, cakes, cookies, pancakes, etc. When baking,
try using 30% less CHIA PRO than regular flour.
