By
weight, chia seeds are approximately 14% protein, which is very high
compared to most plants. One 28 gram serving contains 4.4 grams of protein,
nearly 10 per cent of the daily value. Dr. Wayne Coates has a known
reputation in the field of chia seeds and according to the doctor
chia seeds are comprised of at least 20 percent protein. This protein is
not just protein but high-quality The amino acid score for chia seeds is 91
out of a possible 100.
Compared
with other protein-packed seeds such as flax seeds, chia seeds dwarf the
score. This near-perfect amino acid profile is an excellent complete
protein source for vegetarians who lack protein from not eating meat. But
also for athletes and bodybuilders this protein is a very suitable source
of energy. Chia seeds are a perfect protein source this is especially true
for people who eat little or no animal products such as vegetarians.
What’s
most important in chia seeds, a good balance of
essential amino acids was found, which means that our bodies can
make fully use of the protein in them. These findings are underlined by a second study.
Conclusion
It is found that chia seeds is an excellent complete protein source.
This near perfect
amino acid profile that your body can make fully use of the protein in the
seeds. Protein is very important for all sorts of benefits for health.
People focused on losing weight or controlling their weight are directly
