3. Why are there two colours of Chia?
Like many plants, there are different varieties (think lettuce, for example) with their own unique properties – 'cause that's nature! Almost all plants have colour variations if you think about it eg. red or yellow tomatoes, green or orange capsicums,etc,etc.
4. Can I take too much?
Some people with sluggish bowels find that initially Chia in amounts exceeding the serving suggestion can ‘bind them up' further – so always add any superfood SLOWLY to your diet !
