Health tip: We tend to choose low-lectin and though Chia seeds do contain lectins we enjoy this occasionally. It may be beneficial to not layer lectin rich foods to reduce inflammation. Seeds, grain and other high lectin foods can create leaky gut syndrome. Be sure to use this in moderation for a soothing snack. If you have inflammation, as many people do, you may want to try a lectin cleans for a few months before moving into a more lectin aware lifestyle. We will talk more about this at our online classes and seminars!
