Next, small farms and local growers are also more likely to be farming on land that is not nutritionally deficient, or using "Maximum shelf life" variety plants. Local farms don't have to ship long distance, and they know you'll be back for more if you like their produce's FLAVOR. Another easy solution is the Chia Seed.
This seed is packed with a full range of B vitamins, trace minerals such as Boron, and it even has more calcium by weight than milk. The seed of the chia plant also has omega 3 oil (the same as that found in fish) and complete protein, just like what is found in meat. These seeds also have both soluble and insoluble fiber and more magnesium than broccoli. They don't spoil or go rancid like flax, and you can make them taste like whatever you want….but more on that later.

Why is the Chia Seed still a good option for you?
Chia plants only grow in areas most other plants hate. You couldn't grow a peach or an apple where chia likes to grow. It only grows where it's hot and dry all the time. This means the land used to grow it hasn't already been stripped of nutrients. Worried about pesticides? Don't be. The plant takes care of itself like no other—producing an oil in the leaves and stems that insects and other pests can't stand. Chemical pesticides don't even need to be touched when you've got chia growing. The plants are still pulling in all the nutrients you need while being free from toxic chemical pesticides.

So by looking to a food that's unusual and new, you can still get the nutrients your body needs despite depleted soil in many areas. These seeds have no flavor of their own, so they're not prepared like the food you're used to. No one sits down to a pile of chia as they would rice. Instead, they're super easy in an all-new way. You simply add them to food you already like to eat. The flavorless seeds then absorb moisture from that food (whether it be yogurt, salad dressing, cereal with milk, tomato sauce, or your favorite drink—almost anything will do!) and take on the taste of the food or drink. You won't have any problems with "I don't want to eat my vegetables" when these nutritious seeds can taste like anything from orange juice to chocolate pudding without ever diluting the flavor. There are even many easy and fun Chia Seed Recipes that you can use to make both new and familiar meals lower in fat and higher in nutrients by adding chia. All the nutrition is still there just waiting to be eaten in the way of your choice.

Don't let these startling statistics stop you on your quest for greater health, energy and longevity. You can still take control of your nutrition and improve your health.
