What do Spanish sage seeds contain?

In addition to their high omega-3 fatty acid content, chia seeds are also a treasure trove of protein (16-26%) and carbohydrates (37-42%), including dietary fiber. The protein content is higher than that of popular grain products such as corn, wheat, or rice. However, it all depends on the region where the Spanish sage is grown. In cultivated areas located above sea level, at low temperatures, the protein content of chia seeds is observed to be lower. Chia seeds are also a source of dietary fiber, which induces a feeling of satiety and has a positive effect on the functioning of the digestive system. There is much more of it in chia seeds than in nuts or cereals. Chia seeds also have antioxidant properties, thanks to the presence of ingredients such as caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, quercitin, and kaempferol. The antioxidant properties of chia seeds are scientifically comparable to those of coffee and tea. Additionally, these inconspicuous grains provide numerous B vitamins and minerals (primarily phosphorus and calcium). They are also a source of iron, much more than in wheat and spinach.
