What it is

Chia sprouts are the young shoots of the chia plant (Salvia hispanica L.), which is native to Mexico and Guatemala. They are grown from chia seeds and harvested when they are a few inches tall. They are typically consumed fresh or dried.

Why it's used

Chia sprouts are primarily used as a nutritious ingredient in foods, adding a mild flavor and texture. They are often found in health-focused products like protein powders, meal replacement supplements, and energy drinks, contributing to the overall nutritional profile of the product.

Health notes

Chia sprouts are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. They are a source of fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated chia seeds and sprouts, and EFSA has also reviewed their safety. Evidence suggests they can contribute to a healthy diet when consumed as part of a balanced eating pattern.

Allergen info

Chia sprouts are not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
