ANSWER

Chia seed oil is valued for its high omega-3 content which is available as a food supplement in capsule form. In addition, it contains soluble dietary fibers, proteins as well as essential minerals which has allowed it to be classified as a new age functional food. Chia seed is increasingly receiving scientific attention where it has been approved as a novel food in the EU since 2009 (European Commission, 2013).
