What it is

Sprouted chia seeds are whole chia seeds that have been soaked in water until they begin to germinate. This process is thought to increase the availability of nutrients. Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica L.) are tiny seeds native to Mexico and Guatemala, historically a staple food for Aztecs and Mayans.

Why it's used

Sprouted chia seeds are used to add texture, fiber, and nutrients to foods. They are often found in granola bars, baked goods, and snacks. Manufacturers may add them for their nutritional profile and to enhance the overall health perception of a product.

Health notes

Sprouted chia seeds are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. They are a good source of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated chia seeds, and their consumption is associated with potential benefits for digestive health and blood sugar management. Evidence on specific health benefits is ongoing.

Allergen info

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