Chia by Beverly Lynn Bennett (9781553120490)

Description - Chia by Beverly Lynn Bennett

Grown as a staple crop for centuries in North, Central, and South America, chia seeds were highly prized by Aztec warriors and athletes for the sustained energy they provided. An excellent source of low-fat, plant-based protein and both soluble and insoluble fibre, chia seeds also contain eight times the amount of essential fatty acids (EFAs) found in salmon. This book provides a history of chia and includes more than 25 recipes ranging from desserts, snacks, and beverages to casseroles, soups, and breakfast dishes which show how easy and delicious it can be to add these minuscule marvels to your daily diet.
