Chia seeds are from the desert plant Salvia hispanica, a member of the mint family. Cultivated as early as 3500 BC, these tiny but mighty seeds are packed with nutrients, promoting health and vitality— a true superfood.

Loaded with minerals and antioxidants

Chia seeds are rich in calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, manganese, phosphorus, selenium, Vitamin A, and Vitamin B9 (folate), copper and zinc.

Plant-based source of protein and calcium

Consuming chia seeds are a dairy-free way of boosting energy and strengthening bones. A serving (2 tablespoons) of chia seeds contains 5g of protein, and its calcium content (18% RDI) is higher than most dairy products.

Fiber-rich for healthy digestion

A serving (2 tablespoons) of chia seeds contains 10g of fiber (40% RDI). Most of this is insoluble fiber, which decreases risk of diabetes, improves gut health, and reduces constipation. It also boosts satiety, thus helps cut cravings.

Helps improve cardiovascular health.

Chia seeds are the richest plant source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 has anti-inflammatory effects on the body and decreases the risk for heart diseases.

Easy to incorporate in your diet

Chia seeds are highly versatile. They don’t have a distinct taste, so they can be eaten raw or added to dishes, porridge, pudding, and smoothies, or sprinkled on top of cereals or yogurt. They may also be used as egg replacer in baking.

Storage Instructions:
