"I was elated at the way I felt after using Chia Seed a few days. I was sold when I read the label: 5 times more calcium than milk, more Omega 3 than flax, excellent source of dietary fiber, excellent source of iron and other minerals and low glycemic, slowly giving one energy throughout the day. I use it daily in my yogurt or smoothie and I love the way it makes me feel!"

Throughout history, as far back as the ancient Aztecs, chia has been used for energy, stamina and endurance. In an amazing modern day illustration of the power of chia, 52-year old Tarahumara Indian Ciraldo Chacarito astonished the sports world by winning a 200 mile race in handmade sandals. What was his secret? Chia! This remarkable superfood has virtually no taste, but an amazing abundance of nutrients, and a unique quality of thickening - almost instantly - when mixed with any liquid.

Ruth's Hemp contracts with family farms on the Canadian prairie to grow certified organic hemp, specifically for us. The hemp is then cold-pressed and bottled in oxygen free conditions.

Hemp is one of very few plants that contains both of Omega 6 and Omega 3 & GLA, an even rarer fatty acid. Hemp oil normally contains about 80% polyunsaturated fatty acids, with Omega 6 and 3 in a ratio of 3:1. The ratio in Ruth's Hemp Oil is about 2:1, in other words much more Omega 3 than is normal. This is very good, because Omega 6 is over-abundant in the North American diet, but Omega 3 is quite rare.
