Chia served as a valuable food source for the ancient Aztecs, Mayan, and Incas. Chia seeds were consumed by warriors as an energy source for endurance, strength and hydration. White Chia is milled to aid in absorption. White Chia contains soluble fiber which, when consumed will form a soft gelatin structure. The gel creates a physical barrier between carbohydrates and the digestive enzymes that break them down, slowing the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar, which is beneficial (especially for diabetics). The process of prolonging the conversion into sugar, stabilizes metabolism, lessens the surges of high and low blood sugar levels and lengthens the duration of the fueling effect of Chia. |
