Organic Chia Seed

"Chia literally translates to “strength,” and we can understand how that name came about. For instance, in a single serving of Trader Joe’s Organic Chia Seeds you get eight grams of fiber, four grams of protein and two grams of Omega-3 fatty acids (ALA). Plus, there’s an abundance of calcium, magnesium, and antioxidants in there too.

These tiny, shiny, black, powerhouse seeds are cultivated for us in Paraguay, the world’s largest exporter of Organic Chia Seeds. Paraguay’s suitable soils and accommodating weather make it perfect for growing them. The red soil in our supplier’s farming area is indicative of its rich mineral content. The weather in the region is warm, including ideal sun exposure and five to ten occasions of rain per month. These conditions guarantee a consistent and nutrient-rich crop. We’re also pleased to note that the way our supplier handles their seed production—with well-managed crop rotation, and holistic support to the local farmers—guarantees living wages for farmers and their families, and protects the environment. That’s a win for the farmers, a win for our supplier, and a win for you, since you get to sprinkle these super seeds on your yogurt, cereal, and salads, or mix them into your smoothies and baked goods. You can even turn them into a homemade Chia Seed Pudding using coconut milk and additional flavors of your choice (see product package for instructions)."
