What it is

Organic chia seed protein is derived from chia seeds, which are small seeds from the Salvia hispanica plant, native to Mexico and Guatemala. The protein is typically extracted from the seeds after their oil has been removed, often through mechanical pressing or solvent extraction, and then processed into a powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add chia seed protein to foods for its nutritional content, particularly its protein and fiber. It is commonly found in plant-based protein powders, meal replacement shakes, energy bars, and other health-focused food products where a plant-based protein source is desired.

Health notes

Chia seed protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have not specifically evaluated chia seed protein in isolation, but chia seeds themselves are recognized as a nutritious food. Evidence suggests that chia seeds, and by extension their protein, can contribute to satiety and may have benefits for digestive health due to their fiber content.

Allergen info

Chia seeds are not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. They are also naturally gluten-free.
