Long-Term Dietary Intake of Chia Seed Is Associated with Increased Bone Mineral Content and Improved Hepatic and Intestinal Morphology in Sprague-Dawley Rats.

Chia seeds () provide an unusually high content of α-linolenic acid with several potential health benefits, but few studies have examined the long-term intake of -3 fatty acid-rich plant foods such as chia.
