Chia Pro by CMI

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. 

BENEFITS OF CHIA

• Nature’s richest vegetarian source of omega-3 essential fatty acids

• Nature’s richest source of fiber (especially rich in soluble fiber)

• Complete protein with high levels of 18 Amino Acids (including  the essential 10)

• 3x more iron than spinach

• 15x more magnesium than broccoli

• 6x more calcium than milk

• 15x more Omega 3’s than salmon

• 4x more protein than kidney beans

• 2x more fiber than bran flakes

• No trans fats

• Gluten Free

• Hypo-Allergenic - There are no no known allergies to CHIA PRO.

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.
