Al Dente Bonachia Whole Wheat
Fettuccini. When ancient grains began to
invade the pasta scene, the owners of Al Dente
Pasta knew they wanted to create something
different that was ahead of the curve. Their
familiarity with chia was the muse behind
Bonachia—an egg-free line that includes fettuccini, spinach fettuccini and linguini. Bonachia's
newest addition, whole-wheat fettuccini, is a blend
of chia seed flour with stone-ground whole wheat and durum. It is
high in antioxidants and fiber and offers 9 grams of protein per serving—plus it cooks in a speedy three minutes. Unlike the other pastas
in Al Dente's line of products, the Bonachia line's egg-free status
makes it vegan-friendly. aldentepasta.com
The Chia Co. Chia Pods. The chia
seeds that go into pudding-like Chia Pods
are grown and sun-ripened in Western
Australia, and the product undergoes a coldprocess technique that retains the raw nutritional value, taste and color of the fruit blended
in. With just three ingredients—chia, coconut milk
from sustainable farms and fruit—Chia Pods are dairy-free and
vegan and provide 100 percent of the daily recommended intake of
omega 3s and 25 percent of the fiber. Flavors include banana, blueberry, cinnamon, mango and vanilla bean. Chia Pods can be eaten
cold as a snack or heated for 30 seconds in the microwave for a warm
breakfast. Each single-serve pack comes with a specially designed
spoon inside the lid, making Chia Pods convenient for people on
the go. Lid, spoon and cup are recyclable and made from 30 percent
recycled content. thechiaco.com.au
HapiFoods Group Holy Crap Cereal.
Organic chia seeds are the frontrunner in this
non-GMO cereal's ingredients. On its heels
are organic buckwheat, organic hulled hemp
heart seeds and organic cranberries, raisins,
apples and cinnamon. Founded by a husbandand-wife team to address their own food
sensitivities and allergies, the company touts
this cereal for its slow-burning fuel properties,
making it a great choice for athletes and adventurers. Holy Crap cereal is gluten-, lactose-,
salt- and nut-free and can be eaten hot or cold. The company says
just two tablespoons have more omega 3 and 6 than a serving of wild
Atlantic salmon and 50 percent more protein than two tablespoons
of flaxseed. A stripped-down version called Skinny B, without the
fruit and cinnamon, is also available. holycrap.ca
