Chia Seeds

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

"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.

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!"

"I have been using chia seeds to help control my blood sugar levels. I use 1 tablespoon of the dry seeds in with my oatmeal in the morning. In the evening I put the same amount in my before bed cup of herbal tea. The chia seeds are better than the ensure or other drinks that are suppose to help control blood sugar. I also put it in soup to bump up the nutrition."

"I just received my chia seeds and am so excited. I love what chia can do for me and I LOVE the prices at Nuts Online best! You guys got my order here early and in perfect condition. Thanks so much."

-- Gail, Belleview, FL

"I've been gellin' and drinkin' chia for around 6 months, and while I've lost almost 20lbs, I started using them for the Omega 3. I've supplemented with flax seed for years but I switched to chia because it's so much easier and tastier; It's like drinking water. The weight loss was a bonus. Here's the cool thing about Omega 3. I used to control my arthritis pain with prescription drugs. After reading that Omega 3 fights inflammation I decided to wean off the drugs. I'm 64yrs old, work full time and spend my days walking on concrete floors. I've had two knee surgeries which left me unable to run, but that is starting to change. I've been drug free for over a year now and most of the time I'm pain free as well. Since the weight loss has played a role in relieving the pain I consider chia a double blessing. I found you through the google checkout feature and purchasing the seeds in the 25# box equated to about half of what I'd been paying at the health food store. That makes you a special friend in a faltering economy. Sincerely, Inetia"

-- Inetia

"This is the best source for Chia seed that I have found; excellent quality and packaging, good price and fair shipping charges. Thank you Nuts Online!"

-- Colleen, Commerce Twp., MI

"Boy, you guys are good. My order for Chia Seeds came fast and prompt. I will order from you for now on!!!! Thanks, Donna"

-- Donna, Boca Raton, Florida

"I ordered Chia seeds for all the "Good" things they offer. I had never had them before. When my goodie box arrived today I was like a kid in the candy store looking at everything. I looked at the chia seeds... hummm. opened the bag, looked online to see how to eat them, your site said raw, so I popped a dime sized pile from my hand to my mouth... Crunch crunch crunch. I love them. 4 quarter sized piles later...this is going to seriously help my fiber intake. I like the gel feeling along with the crunch of eating them plain, kinda like playing with warm jello in your mouth. I will have to make some pudding with the maca and cacoa powders (also never tried) I think the texture will be like tapioca."

-- Jessica, Eastpointe, MI

"I found out about chia seeds on Elana's Pantry website. She has a delicious 'tapioca' pudding made with chia seeds on there...YUMMY!! We love it and are going through our chia seeds quickly - so we'll be back to order more. Thanks for your humor and great service and check out www.elanaspantry.com for the recipe."

-- Marian, Orange County, CA

"I started taking chia seed since May and I can see the difference now I don't feel so tired anymore. I have high blood and also acid reflex, I made the gel and I take it in the morning with my cereal and oatmeal. I put it in my drinks and make hot cakes and put the chia gel in the batter. They are so good I read about the chia seed benefits in the newspaper, I'm so happy I found you looking for this seed. Leticia"

-- Leticia, Hayward, Calif.

"Everything I ordered came within the two days, as promised, and is of excellent quality. I priced Chia seeds and Maca powder at another place before I ordered with Nuts Online. The products themselves were more expensive and the shipping was the same price for normal USPS ground shipping. For the exact same thing! Their Chia seeds weren't even as high quality (non-irradiated, chemical free and such)and their maca powders were not organic. Nuts Online rules! Thanks guys!"

-- Shannon, VA
