Organic Chia Seeds Raw 1 Lb.

Mild and nutty flavored, chia seeds were cultivated long ago by the Aztecs and the Maya. The name "chia" comes from the word chian, meaning "oily" in the Aztec language of Nahuatl. What makes the oil in these tiny superseeds so special is the omega-3 essential fatty acids which may contribute to the maintenance of mental function. Healthy chia is also packed with fiber, calcium, iron and magnesium. The Sunfood Difference Raw and certified organic, our chia seeds are completely pure and grown in a chemical-free environment just as the Aztecs and Maya did thousands of years ago. Free of additives or preservatives, they are a nutritional powerhouse that is versatile enough to be added to any dish.
