Chia Seeds

Chia Seeds (Salvia hispanica)
 
Origin: Mexico / Bolivia / Paraguay
Description:
Chia Seeds, from the Salvia hispanica plant, are tiny superseeds packed with exceptional nutritional value. Native to Central and South America and once a staple in the Aztec and Mayan diets, Chia is celebrated today as a functional food rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, protein, and antioxidants. These mild-tasting seeds absorb liquid to form a gel-like texture, making them incredibly versatile in both health foods and culinary creations.
 
Key Benefits:
Rich in Omega-3s: A plant-based source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), supporting heart and brain health.
High in Fiber: Promotes digestive regularity and helps support a feeling of fullness.
Plant-Based Protein: Contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein for vegetarian diets.
Antioxidant Powerhouse: Helps fight oxidative stress and supports cellular health.
 
Usage:
Culinary: Add to smoothies, yogurts, oatmeal, baked goods, or make chia pudding by soaking in liquid.
Nutritional Supplement: Easily incorporated into daily meals as a nutrient booster.
Beverages: Mix into water or juice to create a hydrating, energizing drink known as “chia fresca.”
 
Origin Details:
Our Chia Seeds are sustainably grown and harvested in the nutrient-rich soils of Mexico, Bolivia, and Paraguay—regions known for producing high-quality Salvia hispanica. After harvesting, the seeds are thoroughly cleaned and sorted to ensure purity, freshness, and optimal nutritional value.
