These tiny powerhouses have only recently become widely known: Chia seeds have been popular as a so-called superfood since 2009, especially among vegetarians and vegans. However, these little power grains have long been a true "power food" for the ancient Mayas. At lavera Natural Beauty, we also rely on this trendy little mineral supplier and have incorporated organic chia seeds into one of our carefully balanced natural compositions for natural body cleansing.
Chia seeds are the seeds of the South American chia plant, also called "Spanish sage," and belong to the mint family. Did you know that chia seeds, like quinoa and amaranth, are classified as "pseudo-cereals"? This term describes grains that are processed like cereals but cannot be baked and are gluten-free.
The small chia seeds are true powerhouses, packed with a wealth of nutrients. They contain valuable omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and zinc, as well as vitamins and fiber. Chia seed extracts can have a moisturizing effect and contribute to a smooth skin feel.
