Organic Chia Seeds – Sold by the Ounce

Small but incredibly versatile, organic chia seeds are an easy pantry staple for everything from overnight oats and smoothies to chia pudding and baked goods.

Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica L.) have a mild, subtly nutty flavor that works in both sweet and savory recipes. When mixed with liquid, they absorb moisture and develop their familiar soft, gel-like texture.

Unlike flax seeds, chia seeds don't need to be ground before eating, making them especially convenient to sprinkle, stir or soak.

Best of all, ours are sold by the ounce, so you can buy exactly the amount you need.

What Do Chia Seeds Taste Like?

Chia seeds have a very mild, slightly nutty flavor. Because their flavor isn't overpowering, they're easy to add to recipes without dramatically changing the taste.

How to Use Chia Seeds

Organic chia seeds are incredibly versatile. Try them in:

• Chia pudding
• Overnight oats
• Smoothies
• Yogurt
• Oatmeal
• Baked goods
• Homemade granola
• Salads
• Drinks
• Jams and fruit spreads

You can also sprinkle chia seeds directly onto foods or soak them in liquid before using.

Why Do Chia Seeds Get Gel-Like?

One of the most interesting things about chia seeds is their ability to absorb liquid and form a gel-like consistency.

That's what makes them so useful for chia pudding, overnight oats and recipes where you want to add thickness without dramatically changing the flavor.

Do You Have to Grind Chia Seeds?

No. Unlike flax seeds, chia seeds can be eaten whole and don't need to be ground before use.

That makes them especially convenient for quick breakfasts, smoothies and everyday recipes.

A Seed With a Long History

Chia isn't a new food trend. Chia seeds have a long history as a food crop in Mesoamerica, including among Aztec and Maya cultures.

Today, they're used around the world in everything from traditional preparations to modern smoothies and chia pudding.

Why Buy Chia Seeds in Bulk?

Buying chia seeds by the ounce means you aren't stuck purchasing a large package when you only need a little.

Buy enough to try a new recipe or stock up on your everyday supply. Bulk shopping can also help reduce unnecessary packaging.
