What are super seeds?
Seeds are the powerhouses of life. They are nature’s databank for the entire DNA genome of the plant-to-be. The promise of new life is compressed into tiny kernels that burst open under the right conditions with the miracle of a sprout.
Nature produces seeds in great abundance, guaranteeing the continuation of life. Seeds have a higher quantity and quality of nutrients than other foods because they contain everything a young sprout needs to sustain life and begin growth.
Super seeds are super foods that humans have eaten from the very earliest moments of foraging. They empower cellular energy production and nourish good health with their phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals, protein, carbohydrates, essential fatty acids and antioxidants. When you eat super seeds, every bite you take and every calorie you consume delivers the nutrition your body requires for optimal health.
Preparing TeeChia
We highly recommend soaking TeeChia in water before eating to release its soluble fiber to form a gel that binds its flakes, nuts and fruits together. It creates a smooth bulk that promotes regularity when eaten daily. TeeChia swells when soaked and continues to absorb more water in your stomach, helping to keep you hydrated for hours. The hydrous gel helps to form a soft stool that is easy to eliminate.
Get the best results from TeeChia by activating its unique fiber before eating it. Soaking TeeChia in a small amount of water, whether hot or cold, quickly releases the soluble fiber in both chia and flax.
Instructions
- Place 1/2 cup of TeeChia in a bowl.
- Add ½ cup hot water or 1/4 cup cold water to activate the soluble fiber.
- Stir and let soak until water is absorbed (ready in less than one minute).
- Add milk, yogurt, kefir or any nondairy alternative.
We recommend adding milk, yogurt, or non-dairy alternatives to TeeChia after it has been soaked in water. They make delicious additions to TeeChia so you can enjoy a bowl of TeeChia any way you prefer to eat cereal.
Adding protein to TeeChia
Add the following high protein foods to your bowl of TeeChia to boost the protein content:
Dairy:
- ½ cup Greek yogurt = 10-15g protein
- ½ cup goat milk kefir = 8g protein
- 1 soft boiled or poached egg = 6g protein (yummy over Cranberry Apple!)
Nuts & Seeds: - 1 rounded Tbsp (10g) pistachios, dry roasted = 2.6g protein
- 1 rounded Tbsp (10g) diced almonds, dry roasted = 2.1g protein
- 1 rounded Tbsp (10g) sunflower seeds = 2.1g protein
- 1 rounded Tbsp (10g) cashew pieces, raw = 1.8g protein
- 1 rounded Tbsp (10g) diced walnuts, raw = 1.5g protein
- 1 rounded Tbsp (10g) hazelnuts, raw = 1.5g protein
