Chia Seed

Gel-forming seeds rich in omega-3 ALA and soluble fibre — the base of chia pudding and fresca.

Chia seeds swell into a soft gel in liquid, which is exactly why they make silky puddings, thicken smoothies and create the classic Mexican chia fresca. They deliver omega-3 ALA, soluble fibre, calcium and steady energy.
