What are Chia Seeds?

A member of the mint family, the seeds of this plant were popular historically in Aztec and Mayan cultures, affectionately called "warrior food". This nutritional powerhouse, consumed mainly as an energy food, is high in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, protein and omega-3 fatty acids. The seeds are hydrophilic, absorbing up to 12 times their weight in liquid when soaked and creating a beneficial texture called mucilage. Mucilaginous foods are life-giving foods with many benefits, including soothing the entire digestive track.

Chia seeds can make an excellent alternative food for nearly any horse but they can be particularly beneficial for horses with Cushing's disease, allergies and insulin resistance.
