What it is

Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica L.) are tiny seeds native to Mexico and Guatemala. They are a type of whole grain, often milled into a powder for easier use in food products. The milling process breaks down the seeds to make their nutrients more accessible.

International bodies like JECFA have evaluated chia seeds. No significant health concerns are associated with their consumption at typical dietary levels.
