Product information

High in Vitamin B1, B3, E and Iron, and a source of Omega 3 fatty acids.

Chia seeds are a source of Omega 3 fatty acids, which compose nearly 20% of the Chia seed’s mass. The ratio of Omega 3 fatty acids to Omega 6 fatty acids is 3.5 to 1. .

The herb Chia, or Salvia hispanica, grows in dry, hostile conditions in South America. It is adapted to be highly efficient at absorbing nutrients from the soil. The seed of the Chia plant is valued for its nutrients, and not surprisingly, it has been part of South American diets for millennia.

According to local legend Chia was eaten by the Aztecs, and it is still used by people such as the Tarahumara – a group known for their prowess at long-distance running. It remains a core food in Mexico and Guatemala today.

Good product but questionable packaging

These are healthy organic seeds, but we wonder why there is no symbol on the bag for recycling with supermarket bags. The Naturya bag can be recycled, so we have switched to buying that.

Great

I bought these whilst half price so they were great value. A nice big bag of organic chia seeds. I use them a lot so this is really handy.

Small but mighty

These nutrient-dense seeds are a great addition to smoothies or great mixed with other seeds and nuts to have with yoghurt or porridge. Lost a star as unless these are on offer there are better value organic options available. I do wish manufacturers could come up with an alternative to these pouches which are difficult to recycle.

Decent organic chia seeds but too expensive

These chia seeds are nice but you can get organic ones elsewhere for a fraction of the price

Beware!

Having only tried Chia "shots" previously - tiny Chia seeds, which are easily & quickly swallowed - I popped a tsp of these into my mouth. As I started to swallow, they began to inflate at an alarming rate. I was worried they would get stuck somewhere in my throat! Suggest they are eaten in moderation and taken with plenty of water, unless soaking prior to eating - which I will do in future!
