What it is

Chia seeds are tiny seeds from the desert plant Salvia hispanica, native to Mexico and Guatemala. The seeds are typically ground to make them easier to digest and incorporate into foods. They are a good source of fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Why it's used

Ground chia seeds are often added to foods for their nutritional benefits and to improve texture. They can act as a thickener, absorbing liquid and forming a gel-like consistency, and also contribute to the fiber content of products. They are commonly found in baked goods, yogurt, smoothies, and energy bars.

Health notes

Chia seeds are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a nutrient-dense food, providing fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. While generally considered healthy, consuming large amounts of fiber can cause digestive discomfort for some individuals. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated chia seeds and found them to be safe.

Allergen info

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