NÉBIH: Do not consume too much chia seed!

Although the chia seed is a hit product, the sales of the products need to meet strict conditions. For example it can not be sold in bulk or mixed into pudding or yogurt. Over the maximum daily recommended intake it can cause digestive problems – the National Food Chain safety Office (NÉBIH) drew attention on Thursday.

According to the information; because of the chia seed has a high, 18-30 percent fiber content it can play an important role in the daily recommended intake of fiber intake. However, excessive consumption can cause gastrointestinal problems, so one can not consume more than 15 grams per day – the statement drew attention. (MTI)
