Bundle Pack – Organic Golden Flax Seed Powder + Organic Chia Seed
Golden flax seed powder is the ground up flax seed meal after the bulk of the Omega 3 oil has been extracted. This powder is very high in fibre and is shelf stable because the oil has mostly been removed.
Chia seeds are among the healthiest foods on the planet. They are loaded with nutrients that can have important benefits for your body and brain.
Chia seeds are concentrated foods with healthy omega-3 fatty acids, protein, fiber, antioxidants, calcium, iron and magnesium. Some of their health benefits include boosting energy, stabilizing blood sugar, aiding digestion, and lowering cholesterol.

Description:
Golden flax seed powder is light brown in colour and has a fairly neutral smell. It is naturally gluten free and is full of essential fibre which provides bulk to your digestive system.
Flaxseed powder comprises approximately 28% total dietary fibre by weight, including both soluble and insoluble fibre. Soluble fibre can help lower blood cholesterol levels and help moderate blood sugar, while insoluble fibre moves the stool through the colon more quickly, helping bowel movements and improving laxation.
Flaxseed is one of the richest plant sources of lignans, providing up to 800 times more lignans than most other foods. Lignans are phytoestrogens – compounds that have been shown in studies of animals and in early human clinical trials to help protect against certain kinds of cancer, particularly cancers of the breast and colon, by blocking tumour formation.
Flaxseed contains about 20% protein and has an amino acid profile similar to that of soybean protein which is considered to be one of the most nutritious of the plant proteins.
Chia seeds have become one of the most popular superfoods in the health community. They are easy to digest when prepared properly, and are a very versatile ingredient that adds easily to recipes. These tiny seeds can expand to hold about 10 times their dry weight in liquid. When they absorb liquid, the seeds swell into gel-like globules reminiscent of miniature tapioca balls.
Chia seeds are a quick and easy-to-use source of protein, healthy fats (Omega-3), dietary fiber, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants, all rolled into one neat package.
Chia seed is nutrient dense and packs a punch of energy boosting power. Aztec warriors ate chia seeds to give them high energy and endurance. They said just 1 spoonful of chia could sustain them for 24 hours. Chia means “strength” in the Mayan language, and they were known as “runners food” because runners and warriors would use them as fuel while running long distances or during battle.
Recent research has found that the chia seed benefits are even greater than we realized. Chia seed benefits include promoting healthy skin, reducing signs of aging, hunger control and weight loss, supporting the heart and digestive system, building stronger bones and muscles and more. Now they have even been linked to healing diabetes.
