Chia is a leading modern-day wholefood that is valued for its nutrients. Grown in sun-soaked South America the seeds are extracted from the plant, cleaned and then packed in their raw state. When soaked in water or milk these tiny seeds can absorb approximately 10 times their weight and form a very versatile gelatine-like substance.  Features & Benefits - Organic - Suitable for vegans AND vegetarians - Find a recipe for our Chia Pudding on pack! - HIGH IN OMEGA  3 - Alpha-linolenic acid (Omega 3) contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels. - HIGH IN CALCIUM - Calcium is needed for the maintenance of normal bones.  OUR SHARED EARTH INITIATIVE: At 'Green Origins' we search the world for the most nutritious foods, source from producers who use organic methods and guarantee that at least 10% of our profits each year support social and environmental projects around the world.
