Chia seeds are an unprocessed, whole-grain food that can be absorbed by the body as seeds (unlike flaxseeds). One ounce (about 2 tablespoons) contains 139 calories, 4 grams of protein, 9 grams fat, 12 grams carbohydrates and 11 grams of fiber, plus vitamins and minerals. The mild, nutty flavor of chia seeds makes them easy to add to foods and beverages.
Kitchen Fact: The safe internal temperature for cooked pork is 145Â° Fahrenheit. All cuts of pork, with the exception of ground pork, should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145Â°F, and the temperature should be measured at the thickest part of the meat not touching any bone.
This is welcome news when it comes to cuts such as pork loin which is extremely lean and dries out so easily during cooking. Whereas the old 160 degree safe temperature made it almost impossible to enjoy juicy pork loin, at 145 degrees it is very possible.
