Export Quality Chia Seeds for Global Buyers

Chia

Chia seeds are tiny black and white seeds which are loaded with fibre, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, calcium, and iron. When the seeds are soaked in water, they form a gel-like texture which makes them perfect for puddings, smoothies, yoghurt, and beverages. The seeds help to support digestive health, keep you feeling full for longer and contribute to heart and bone health. Chia seeds are naturally gluten-free and suitable for diets. Their mild taste makes them easy to add to a wide range of recipes, which offers a simple and nutritious boost to your daily meals.
