I hadn’t heard of Chia Seeds until about a month ago. My excuse is that I was out on Maternity Leave and this new ‘craze’ has all blown up in a very short time! However, Chia seeds have a rich history and a lot going for them so I think they are around to stay.

They originate in Southern Mexico, and were a significant component of Mayan and Aztec diets. They were used as a source of energy as well as a treatment for joint pain, sore skin and as a way of stimulating saliva flow.

From a nutritional perspective, they are an excellent source of Essential Fatty Acids, even more so than flax seeds. And because they have such a high antioxident content the oil stays fresh for a long time and unlike flax, they do not need to be ground for the oil to be ‘available’ to our bodies.

For the digestion, Chia seeds provide a rich dose of fiber, and when soaked quickly in water (5 minutes or so) they form a gel which is very soothing, and helps relieve constipation.

This gel also seems to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates which makes Chia invaluable to athletes, people trying to lose weight, and diabetics.

Added to water with lemon or lime juice they make a drink known in Mexico as ‘Chia Fresca’. They have a mild nut-like flavour and can be sprinkled on cereal, baked in bread or just downed in water.

I have found them to be a pleasant addition to my diet, and we are working on a new Health Bread with Chia, Spirulina Flakes, and other exciting ingredients! I’ll keep you posted – Hannah

We know all oils should be fresh, correct? Well, I certainly didn’t realise until recently that most Olive Oils for sale here in Ireland are old. Even the cold-pressed, extra virgin ones. According to Italian food culture, Olive Oil should be used within at most a year from pressing, which makes it the complete opposite to good wine which is better the older it gets!

We have just started stocking a really tasty fresh olive oil in Organico. Colletta Olivieri Oil comes from the National Park of Gargano, on the Adriatic Coast, and because of this the olives are grown without chemical (the family is in the process of becoming certified Organic but it takes 2 years). But what distinguishes this oil from the other ones we sell is that it is from olives harvested late last year, making it very fresh. We currently have 500 ml bottles (RSP €6.30) and 3 liter tins in stock (approx €29). And if you like their oil you can go and stay with the family in their Agritourismo Colletta Antonetta which looks like the real deal!
