Chia is an annual herb growing up to 1.75 m (5.7 ft) tall, with opposite leaves that are 4–8 cm
(1.6–3.1 in) long and 3–5 cm (1.2–2.0 in) wide.
Chia is rich in omega-3 fatty Acids, since the seeds yield 25–30% extractable oil, including α-linolenic acid (ALA). Of total fat, the composition of the oil can be 55% ω-3, 18% ω-6, 6% ω-9, and 10%
saturated fat.
It is amazingly rich in macronutrients with one ounce serving containing less than 2 net carbohydrate grams, 8.72 grams of dietary fat, and 4.43 grams of muscle building protein. While chia seed is known to be an amazing source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids it also delivers the important nutrients of calcium, phosphorus, and manganese.
