About CHIA SEED
Foods Alive Chia Seed is certified organic chia with nothing else added. Chia delivers a strong fiber punch, substantial plant-based protein, and omega-3 fatty acids in a single tiny seed that expands into a gel when mixed with liquid. The fat content is notably high but comes predominantly from alpha-linolenic acid, the plant form of omega-3. Sprinkled into smoothies, puddings, or baked goods, chia adds nutrition without altering flavor significantly. A reliable pantry staple that earns its status as a nutrient-dense whole food, as long as it comes from a quality organic source like this one.
