【Chia Seeds Chiffon Cake】
by MaomaoMom
Since my friend introduced the Chia seeds to me. I have been adding Chia seeds to my diet. This Chia Seeds Chiffon Cake is another good one! You can try it. Chia seed is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, fiber, protein, calcium, iron, vitamin C and potassium, making it great for digestion, a super food for the brain and heart and for healthy skin, hair and nails. In addition, it has a positive impact balancing blood glucose levels and thus making it awesome for diabetics. The nut-like flavor is very pleasing. Chia seeds are very similar to flax in composition but are easier to digest Chia seeds come from a flowering plant in the mint family that’s native to Mexico and Guatemala, and history suggests it was a very important food crop for the Aztecs.
