Raw black chia seeds - small and full of energy!

The chia plant, which can grow up to one metre tall, is native to the south of America. The chia plant was already an important staple food for the Aztec and Mayan tribes in the form of chia seeds. Chia seeds were considered to be a special source of energy, which is why the Mayans often provided runners with this food when travelling.

Black chia seeds - impressive nutrient density of the superfood

Chia seeds combine several valuable ingredients in high concentrations: not only omega-3 and -6 fatty acids, but also the high fibre content, numerous vitamins and minerals, as well as fats, antioxidants and trace elements make chia seeds a particularly valuable ingredient in healthy cuisine. Vegans and raw foodists are particularly enthusiastic about this natural product. But gluten allergy sufferers are also discovering chia seeds for their recipes. They aid digestion and are a good satiating agent because they supply the body with energy over a longer period of time.

Due to their newfound popularity, chia plants are now grown commercially in many South American countries. Our chia seeds, on the other hand, come from small, sustainably farmed fields that are harvested by hand by the rural population. Without additives or preservatives, chia seeds are dried for us under raw food conditions and thus retain their first-class quality full of important vital substances. They are unpeeled.
