About ORGANIC CHIA SEED
Meijer Organic Chia Seed is a single-ingredient superfood product from the Meijer brand, the Grand Rapids, Michigan-based Midwest supercenter chain. The product contains only organic chia seeds (Salvia hispanica), grown to USDA National Organic Program standards. Chia seeds are native to Central America and have been consumed for millennia. They are one of the most nutrient-dense seeds available in the retail market, notable for extraordinary levels of dietary fiber, omega-3 fatty acids (primarily ALA), protein, and micronutrients relative to their serving size.
At 500 calories per 100 grams, chia seeds are calorie-dense — but with 16.67 grams of protein, 43.33 grams of carbohydrates, and a remarkable 33.3 grams of dietary fiber, they are one of the most fiber-rich foods available. Fat is 30 grams per 100 grams, predominantly ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), a plant-based omega-3. Chia seeds are also a significant source of calcium (approximately 631 mg per 100g), phosphorus, magnesium, and manganese. When soaked in water, chia seeds form a gel due to their high mucilaginous fiber content, useful in puddings, thickening applications, and as an egg substitute.
No allergens are present — no wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, nuts, or sesame. No artificial ingredients, HFCS, TBHQ, BHA, or PHOs. Fully vegan. Chia seeds are suitable for smoothies, puddings, overnight oats, baked goods, beverages, and as a topping for yogurt and salads.
