What's the difference between hemp, chia and flax?

Check out my blog: https://desireerd.com/ Check out my instagram:   / desireenielsenrd   Hemp, chia and flax seeds all contain omega 3 fatty acids…but each one stands out for a different reason. 🌱 Flax: 1 tablespoon of flax contains 1.6 grams of omega 3 fatty acids…your entire daily requirement. It also contains 1.9 grams of fibre, including gel-forming soluble fibre which is why it makes a great egg replacement. There are small amounts of iron and zinc but what sets flax apart from the other two are the lignans, special polyphenols that when converted by your gut microbiome have weak phytoestrogenic activity. ⚠️ Flax should always be ground so we can access its nutrition as it’s very hard exterior is difficult to breakdown. 🌱 Chia: the highest omega 3 content with 1.9 grams per tablespoon. Chia contains higher fibre – including gelling soluble fibre – at 3.7 grams with slightly higher amounts of zinc and iron and protein. For me, when you want soluble fibre, go for chia seeds. 🥣 Eat them hydrated – soaked in overnight oats, chia puddings, chia fresca, chia jam or yogurt. 🌱 Hemp: the lowest omega 3 content with 0.8 grams per tablespoon but it packs a big bunch in terms of minerals and protein. 1 tablespoon of hemp contains 1.3 mg of iron, 1 mg of zinc as well as a third of your daily manganese as well as 3.3 grams of protein. When you want minerals and protein, go for hemp. They blend up perfectly to make hemp milk, in smoothies or you can replace ½ cup of flour in most cookie and quick bread recipes with hemp to boost omega 3, protein and minerals. All 3 of these omega rich seeds are nutritious. I have all three in my kitchen, but I have to admit that I use hemp hearts most often because they lack the soluble fibre and therefore blend seamlessly into plant milks, smoothies and baking. Which one do you use most often? #shorts #dietitian #plantbaseddietitian #chiaseeds #flaxseed
