It will deliver more energy to your body then most plants or alternatives will deliver, that is why it is called “super food”.
Another super food we use in our products is Chia, Chia is easy to digest when prepared properly and is easy to use in several dishes. Aztec warriors ate them to get a energy boost, this energy boost lasted for a long time, one spoon could provide them with energy for 24 hours.
