About BLACK CHIA SEEDS, BLACK
Good and Gather Black Chia Seeds is a single-ingredient organic seed product from Target's premium Good and Gather private-label brand, introduced in 2019 as Target's flagship food store brand. This entry specifies organic chia seeds, making it the certified-organic equivalent of the non-organic Simply Balanced Black Chia Seeds entry. Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica) have been cultivated since pre-Columbian times and are recognized by food and nutrition researchers for their exceptionally high fiber and ALA omega-3 content relative to calorie density.
The sole ingredient is organic chia seeds, with no processing aids, anti-caking agents, or additives. The organic certification implies cultivation without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers under USDA National Organic Program standards. No major allergens are declared. The product is naturally vegan, gluten-free, and free from all common food allergens based on declared ingredients.
Nutritionally, 100 grams provides 472 calories, 16.67 grams of protein, 41.67 grams of carbohydrates, 30.56 grams of fat, and 33.3 grams of dietary fiber. The slightly lower fat value (30.56g vs 33.33g in the Simply Balanced entry) may reflect a different analytical lot. The fiber content remains exceptionally high at 33.3g/100g. Chia seeds are used in smoothies, overnight oats, chia pudding, baked goods, and as an egg replacement in vegan cooking due to their water-absorbing gel-forming properties. The product is appropriate for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and low-carb dietary patterns (net carbohydrates after fiber subtraction are approximately 8.4g/100g).
