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.
The National Pork Board recommends cooking pork chops, roasts, and tenderloin to an internal temperature between 145Â° F. (medium rare) and 160Â° F. (medium), followed by a 3 minute rest. Since large cuts increase approximately 10Â° F. while resting, remove them from the heat at 150Â° F. followed by a 10 minute rest.
