Chia Seed vs Flax Seed
Protein Content
One ounce of Chia seeds contains 4.4 grams of vegetarian protein — this is almost as high as meat, and higher than eggs. But, Flaxseed's protein comtent is even higher — 5.1 grams per ounce!
However, Chia seeds are considered a complete protein because they contain all the essential amino acids, while flaxseeds do not. (Essential amino acids can't be made from the body, so you have to get them from your diet.)
Antioxidants
Chia seeds are an excellent source of antioxidants. In fact, it's their high antioxidant content that keeps the seeds fresh for a long time, and prevents them from turning rancid. Whereas, Flaxseed and flaxseed oil lose their nutrients and go rancid relatively quickly when they're not stored correctly, preferably in a dark, cool place, like the refrigerator or freezer.
