Description | Richtek chia protein powder is madefrom chia seeds grown and sustainably harvested in the Andean regions. The powder is made using a cold press process to extract some of the oil from the chia seeds and then the cake obtained is gently heat extruded and milled to obtain an ideal functional ingredient where low carb, high protein, high fiber and a healthy amount of Omega-3s are desired. Its main benefits are: a) High source of plant-based protein with 30%, easily digestible and with all nine essential amino acids in ideal balance. b) Contains up to 10% fat being mainly unsaturated fats with 89% of Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omeg-9 and very little saturated fats with 11%. c) Good source of alpha-linolenic acid (Omega-3) with more than 4%. d) High source of dietary fiber with more than 40%. e) No net carbs per serving. f) Good source of calcium. g) Kosher, non-GMO, gluten free, grain free and vegan. h) Ideal for Ketogenic and Paleo diets. i) Higher protein content than the chia seeds and milled chia (chia full fat powder). j) Longer shelf life than milled chia with up to 18 months. k) Improved digestibility by reducing the anti-nutrients that the chia seed and milled chia have such as phytate or phytic acid which is an antinutrient that binds to many minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc magnesium and copper which ultimately makes them unavailable for absorption. l) Improved solubility versus milled chia and partially defatted raw chia powder. m) Has a kill step with the controlled heat extrusion that ensures food safety peace-of-mind. | |
