Below are two excerpts about chia seeds. Based on your knowledge of academic genre conventions, decide which text is more academic.  (A) Seed from Salvia hispanica L. or more commonly known as chia is a traditional food in central and southern America. Currently, it is widely consumed for various health benefits especially in maintaining healthy serum lipid level. This effect is contributed by the presence of phenolic acid and omega 3/6 oil in the chia seed. Although the presence of active ingredients in chia seed warrants its health benefits, however, the safety and efficacy of this medicinal food or natural product need to be validated by scientific research. In vivo and clinical studies on the safety and efficacy of chia seed are still limited. (B) Chia seeds may be tiny, but they are a superfood that packs a lot of punch. While I’ve always loved the crunchiness of chia seeds in salads, when I tried making chocolate chia pudding, I realized I liked the texture of them when they were softened, too. And mixing them in with other good-for-you foods like dates, almond milk, and fruit makes this tiny seed even a healthier addition to your food. Oh, and did I mention I love blueberry vanilla chia pudding, too? Man, chia seeds are so awesome. Chia seeds are super versatile, easy to add to your favorite dishes, and heck, they can even replace an egg in a lot of recipes.单项选择题
