Chia Seeds

Home > By the Pound > Seeds & Spices > Chia Seeds

Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica) are extremely high in Omega 3 and are loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Our Chia seeds are raw, Non-GMO, non-irradiated, and produced without pesticides.

30% of Chia seed oil is Omega 3 oil. 40% of its oil is Omega 6 oil. This is the perfect balance of essential fatty acids.

Chia seeds are great for athletes because they are highly hydrophilic, meaning they can absorb large amounts of water. They can hold 10 times their weight in water making them a great enhancer in hydrating our bodies.

Studies show that eating chia seed slows down how fast our bodies convert carbohydrate calories into simple sugars. This leads scientists to believe that the chia seed may have great benefits for diabetics.

The chia seed gels when becoming wet and this gel, when in our digestive systems, helps prevent some of the food, hence calories that we eat from getting absorbed into our system. This blockage of calorie absorption makes the chia seed a great diet helper. Eating the seeds also helps dieters by making them feel fuller faster so they will be less hungry.

You do not need to grind the Chia Seeds to digest it. It is a relatively easy to digest seed, whereas flax seeds are not. Often, one has to grind flax seeds to be able to process them in their digestive system. That is not the case with chia seeds.

Chia seeds can be eaten raw as a dietary fiber and omega 3 supplement. Chia seeds soaked in water or fruit juice are also often consumed and is known in Mexico as chia fresca. The soaked seeds are gelatinous in texture and are used in gruels, porridges and puddings. Ground chia seed is used in baked goods including breads, cakes and biscuits.

"I own a bakery in Superior Wi. and I do gluten free breads besides my regular breads. I found out from a friend that Chia added to gluten free breads makes a great product. I brought some of my gluten free bree bread with Chia in it to a support group meeting and the people were amazed at the soft texture of the bread. The Chia also adds fiber and anti-oxidants that I never could have gotten without this wonderful product. I'm the only gluten free bakery in the area using this. Thanks for this wonderful product.

"The nuts came today!! All are honestly better than I expected. The macadamia nuts were awesome and didn't have that rancid oil taste to them that even the health food stores have. I loved the raw whole cacao beans-never had one before and loved the outer, delicate shell. The raw cacao nibs were excellent as well and I make a smoothie with the Chia seeds. Sooo, I'm set and lovin it! Thanks so much. I'm looking forward to the extra antioxidant benefits from everything I ordered. Stacy Jett"

I was introduced to it 2 weeks a go by my friend who visited Boston from Canada, and it was given to me in ground form.

"Order arrived and within the hour the kids had demolished our order of veggie chips. Impossible to describe how good they are. My oldest daughter has laid claim to the goji berries, I suggested she try them on her cereal in the morning, she scoffed at the idea, doesn't like cereal but packed a baggie full of goji berries for her lunch tomorrow. The dry roasted edamame is wonderful. Will be online tonight ordering more goodies as soon as Hubby is home and picks his favorites. I ended up here looking for chia seeds and consider this my lucky find of the year. Fabulous products, amazing selection. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

-- Elaine, Apopka, FL

"WOW! You are sure true to your word. We got the chia in 2 days.I just got your email and was soooo surprised. 1 tablespoon of chia in a full 8oz of water stirred with a fork is the best thing to do for large pills.

"I found your website after learning about Chia seeds. Most places are charging way too much due to the new (re-) found benefits of theses wonderful tiny seeds from the ancient Aztecs. Your website is good, your communication is excellent, and your service is top notch! Keep it up. (As a former New Jerseyan (or is that New Jerseyite?) Born and raised near Trenton in Hamilton Square, good to see NJ having a good rep through businesses like yours!"
