What it is
Chia seeds are tiny seeds from the plant Salvia hispanica, native to Mexico and Guatemala. They are typically harvested and then sold whole or ground.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add chia seeds for their nutritional value, texture, and ability to absorb liquid and form a gel. They are commonly found in cereals, baked goods like crackers and muffins, and as a topping for yogurt and smoothies.
Health notes
Chia seeds are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a good source of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated chia seeds and found them to be safe. Research suggests that consuming chia seeds as part of a balanced diet may contribute to digestive health due to their high fiber content.
Allergen info
Chia seeds are not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
