1. The seeds of chia are characteristic

Spanish sage seeds (Salvia hispanica L.), otherwise known as chia seeds, have become a popular ingredient used in daily diet as a supplement to various types of foods. Increasing interest in the product may be related to its beneficial effects on health, as it exhibits, among others, hypoglycemic, hypotensive (lowering blood pressure) properties, improving the function of the gastrointestinal tract, neuroprotective or anti-inflammatory (S. Motyka, H. Ekiert, A. Šopa 2021).

2. The nutritional value of chia seeds

Chia seeds are predominantly high in polyunsaturated fatty acids (2535%). In the case of carbohydrates, they are therefore a valuable component of the diet, mainly due to the presence of omega-3 fatty acid (A. Kargulewicz et al. 2016). In addition, the product contains 3034% fat, 3742% carbs, and 1626% protein. In carbs the diet is dominated by dietary fiber, which also has a high water-binding capacity. Adding this to the seed acid can provide a sense of satiety, as well as the effect on the source of calcium and phosphorus, which are the main constituents of carboxylic acid and magnesium phosphate. In the dietary formula of these seeds, chia seeds can be used in a variety of ways.
