Black Chia Seeds
Black chia seeds may be small, but they are packed with nutrients. These seeds – from the Salvia hispanica plant, native to Central and South America – have been used for centuries as part of a nutritious diet. Today, they're popular in smoothies, bowls, crackers, and supplements.
What’s in chia seeds?
Black chia seeds are naturally rich in:
- Dietary fiber
- Plant-based protein
- Omega-3 fatty acids
- Calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and iron
This mix of nutrients makes chia a valued addition to a varied and balanced diet. When combined with moisture, the seeds form a gel-like texture – making them perfect for puddings, baked goods, or as an egg substitute in vegan recipes.
