What it is
Chia seeds are tiny seeds from the Salvia hispanica plant, native to Mexico and Guatemala. They are typically consumed whole, often after being soaked in liquid to form a gel-like consistency.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use chia seeds for their nutritional content and gelling properties. They are often added to beverages, yogurt, oatmeal, and baked goods to increase fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
Health notes
Chia seeds are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a good source of fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated chia seeds, noting their nutritional value. Evidence suggests they can contribute to satiety and may help with blood sugar management 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.
