What do Spanish sage seeds contain?

In addition to being high in omega-3 fatty acids, chia seeds are also a treasure trove of protein (16-26%) and carbohydrates (37-42%), including fiber. The protein content is higher than in such popular grain products as corn, wheat or rice. However, it all depends on the area where Spanish sage is grown. In growing areas that are high above sea level, it is observed at low temperatures that the protein content of chia seeds is lower. Chia seeds are also a source of fiber, which induces a feeling of satiety and has a positive effect on the functioning of the digestive system. There is a lot more of it in chia seeds than in dried fruit or grains. Spanish sage seeds also have antioxidant properties thanks to ingredients such as caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, quercitin and kaempferol. The antioxidant activity of chia seeds is scientifically comparable to that of coffee and tea. In addition, the inconspicuous grains provide many B vitamins and minerals (mainly phosphorus and calcium). They're also a source of iron, and there's a lot more of that than in wheat and spinach.
