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.
That is, until 2011, when they updated their recommendations. The USDA now lists 145 F as its recommended safe minimum cooking temperature for fresh pork. In other words, medium as opposed to well-done. A pork loin cooked to 145 F might look a little bit pink in the middle, but that's perfectly all right. In fact, it's great. Some intrepid souls, in search of ever more tenderness and juiciness, might even dare for 135 F to 140 F.
