Naturya Organic Chia Seeds are cultivated on the sun-baked sierras of South America. These potent little bundles of energy have been used as an essential ingredient for centuries, as they are rich in omega 3, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), fibre & phosphorous, magnesium and protein. A re-sealable so you can keep the goodness locked in.
Over 4000 years ago the Aztec warriors fuelled their conquests by mixing the seeds with corn to make an energy-packed flatbread. Chia seeds are also great in smoothies, chia pudding, porridge, yoghurt, homemade bread, and salads. Why not try sprinkling them over some banana pancakes for a healthy dessert
Quality & Provenance
Our Chia Seeds are sourced from local farms across South America, including Argentina, Ecuador, Bolivia and Paraguay. Locations are carefully selected within chia’s naturally occurring range. Partnering with farmers across the continent guarantees a supply of the finest chia at fair prices, regardless of weather conditions. Our rich seed lineages are the result of over 500 years of craft by native Nahua villagers, who’ve carefully cultivated wild chia for generations, using selective breeding to build a natural resistance to pests.
Mature chia plants are cut from November to January, depending on location. The small seeds are easily separated from the coarse plant, meaning the crop is already 96% pure seed at harvest. Seeds are then vibration-cleaned, refining the quality of chia seed from any small pebbles or impurities. Purity is guaranteed when the chia seeds are passed over magnets, meticulously removing the smallest particles. Our Chia Seeds are also rigorously tested for contaminants, to deliver a final product completely pure and free from heavy metal residues and pesticides.
