ABSTRACT
Dietary interventions have been attempted to lower the risk of obesity, diabetes and CVD by the reduction of hyperglycaemia and prevention of excess caloric intake as these are very common problems prevailing in present scenario [1]. The need of the hour is to develop such therapeutic food products which not only prevent but also cure these diseases with no adverse effects. Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica L.) are one of the non conventional food stuffs which are rich in macro as well as micro nutrients along with phytochemicals. But due to lack of awareness, they are yet to be harnessed in the form of nutritional and therapeutic food products. Through this article, an attempt is being made to create awareness about the nourishing and therapeutic potential of Chia seeds.
Key Words: Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica L.), Omega -3 fatty acids, Diabetes mellitus, CVD, Non conventional food stuffs.
