Premium Organic Chia Seeds Wholesale
The current raw and organic movement has given us two important things: the knowledge that
there are so many existing health foods from all over the world; and access to these superfoods—
such as chia seeds—that previously, only other people were enjoying.
It wasn’t that long ago when premium chia seeds were found only in corner shelves of small
health food stores. Now, thanks to a lot of research about its benefits, chia seeds, are one of
the most popular superfoods around.
Chia seed is an herb that comes from the chia plant. This flowering plant of the mint family
produces tiny, oily seeds—chia seeds—that are similar to flaxseeds. The chia plant is native to
Guatemala, Southern Mexico and South America where it has been cultivated for more than 4,000
years.
At the beginning, chia seeds were cultivated only for equine feed. Later on, the Aztecs, Mayans
and Incas discovered that its health benefits also extend to humans. And so, they grew the plant
for human consumption. They ate the seeds as grain, drank as a beverage when mixed with water,
and ground into flour to make bread. It was considered it as an important staple food
crop.
But most importantly, because of its tremendous health-enhancing properties, chia seeds have also
been used as a medicine—to heal wounds, increase stamina and boost respiratory health. All these
things made chia seeds a highly valued crop by ancient civilizations, one even more precious than
gold.
There’s a reason for all current buzz around raw organic chia
seeds—chia seed benefits are almost endless. Research in Canada and the US found these tiny
seeds are helpful in improving a long list of health problems.
A single ounce of natural chia seeds provides more omega-3 fatty acids than that of salmon.
Omega-3 fatty acids—also called polyunsaturated fatty acids—help lower cholesterol, supports
people with type 2 diabetes and also boost memory and brain power.
It is an excellent protein source for people looking to get this nutrient without eating meat or
animal products. It’s no wonder people all over the world are into raw organic chia
seeds.
How to use chia seeds in food? Chia seeds can be enjoyed in food in so many ways—in cakes,
smoothies, jams, salads, savory food and practically anything you can think of. Compared to flax
seeds, chia seeds are incredibly versatile.
Chia Seeds slow down the digestion and absorption of
carbohydrates and avoid peaks in blood sugar levels thus leaving you feeling satisfied for
longer. On top of that Chia seeds are covered with a layer of water-soluble fibre that swells up
when wet, adding “volume” to meals without adding more calories to your body. This explains why
eating chia can satisfies hunger and lets you feel full for a longer time. These fibres also help
to rinse your intestines of toxins and allow your body to detoxify. The conclusion is that chia
seeds are excellent for weight loss!
We take great pride in where and how our chia seeds are planted,
grown, picked and packed.
Our chia seeds are grown across South America, specifically in Bolivia, Ecuador, Paraguay and
Argentina, where premium chia plants naturally grow. We use premium chia seeds—the black ones
which are known to be the most nutritious—developed by native Nahua villagers for more than 500
years. We have partnered with local farmers who have been domesticating chia for generations.
This is our guarantee that the quality of our chia seeds begin right from the start of growing
process.
Our natural chia seeds are cultivated and grown
organically without the aid of any pesticides or chemicals. They are organically certified by
Organic Farmers and Growers who is one of UK’s leading organic control bodies. You can be sure
our chia seeds contain no heavy metal residues, pesticides, sulfite and other
preservatives.
Aside from proper growing and cultivation of our
chia crops, carefully thought-of and properly-executed handling is the only way to produce
quality goods. Our premium chia seeds are harvested only when the plant become fully mature
enough to be cut so that the ultimate quality of the seeds can be achieved.
With a purity of 99.8%, the purity rate of our
chia seeds is very high. To be sure that our seeds are free from small pebbles, they are passed
through a vibration cleaning machine.
Our chia seeds are also checked for dampness. Once found damp, the seeds will be placed on a
cloth and hung one meter above the ground where they will be left to completely dry. We
routinely inspect and analyze our chia seeds for any remaining impurities by passing them over
magnets in order to remove even the smallest of particles.
