What it is
Milled chia seed is made from the tiny seeds of the Salvia hispanica L. plant, which is native to Mexico and Guatemala. The seeds are ground into a fine powder, which makes their nutrients more accessible.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add milled chia seed as a source of fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. It can also act as a thickener or binder in foods like baked goods, smoothies, and energy bars.
Health notes
Milled chia seed is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a good source of dietary fiber, which can support digestive health. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated chia seeds. Evidence suggests that chia seeds may help with satiety and blood sugar control when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
Allergen info
Chia seeds are not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
