Why Micro Sliced?
Whole chia seeds are not fully digested by the body leaving a significant portion of their nutritional properties wasted. Micro-sliced describes the process of how the chia seeds in Mila are "broken open" in order to maximize their nutritional value. LivePURE has invested in customized manufacturing equipment, which slices a significant quantity of the seeds through this process. Heat is also not introduced into this process in order to maintain the sliced seeds nutritional integrity.
