- Product Information
Chia seeds aren’t only packed with nutritional goodness; they’re also incredibly versatile. Sprinkle on smoothies, porridge, yoghurt, or use them as an egg substitute in vegan baking.
Historically, the chia seed was a staple of the Central American diet, where the ancient Aztec warriors would add them to cornbread to increase energy reserves. ‘Chia’ translates to ‘strength’ for that very reason. Now, chia seeds are widely hailed as a superfood due to their unique nutrition profile.
Chia seeds contain generous amounts of fibre for gut health, plant-based omega-3 fatty acids (ALA) for heart function, protein for satiety, calcium for bones, and magnesium for energy, making them one of the healthiest foods on the planet.
We source all of our whole foods from reliable, quality-assured suppliers. Before being manufactured and packaged in UK factories working to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), our seeds receive stringent quality checks to meet the strictest EU regulations on contaminants.
