Whole Chia Seeds (Salvia hispanica) 200g, 500g & 1kg

Whole chia seeds: The Ancient Botanical Superfood

Chia (Salvia hispanica) is native to Central America and has been eaten there for centuries. Zaal Market sources top-tier, export-grade seeds that undergo gentle mechanical sorting to remove stems, dust, and immature pale grains. Zaal chia is sorted so the seeds are clean and free of dust, sand and weed seeds.

Unlike many seed varieties that require pre-grinding to release their inner nutrients, whole chia seeds for pudding have a delicate outer hull that naturally softens upon contact with moisture. When immersed in water, nut milk, or fresh fruit juice, the soluble hydrophilic fibers expand dramatically, forming a gel that adds creaminess to breakfasts.

• Nutrient-Dense Fruit Smoothies: Add a heaping tablespoon directly into your blender with frozen berries, spinach, and coconut water .

Nutrition and Safe Use

Chia seeds are naturally packed with soluble and insoluble fibers, plant-based protein, and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). This is a food product and not a substitute for medicine or medical advice. Because chia seeds absorb substantial quantities of liquid, always consume them adequately hydrated or drink ample water throughout the day.
