ORGANIC Chia seeds

Chia seeds with yogurt make a delicious dessert.

Chia seeds from the Ölmühle Solling are organically grown and have a high content of omega-3 fatty acids and are versatile in the kitchen. The seeds of the South American plant Salvia Hispanica L. are considered a superfood in Germany. Our Chia Seeds are unsulphured, 100% vegan and GMO free. The seeds of the chia plant were valued by the Aztecs, Mayas and Incas of Central and South America as a nutrient-rich source of energy and were considered a staple food and remedy in one. The word 'chia', which comes from the Mayan language, also means 'strength'. In Germany and Europe, the small, black seeds from South America have become an indispensable ingredient in breakfast cereals and baked goods.

Valuable omega-3 fatty acids

Chia seeds are high in omega-3 fatty acids, also known as alpha-linolenic acid, or ALA. This essential fatty acid helps maintain normal cholesterol levels. A daily intake of 2g of ALA, which is equivalent to 11g of chia seeds, will have the same effect.

Chia seeds swell with water to form a gel-like mass. They are therefore often used as an ingredient in cereals, smoothies, breads and baked goods. The ideal ratio of chia seeds to water is 1:6. According to the EU Novel Food Regulation EC 258/97, chia seeds are suitable for consumption up to a maximum of 15g per day. The maximum daily intake of 15g should not be exceeded. Enjoy our Organic Chia Seeds as part of a varied and balanced diet. Store well closed in a dry and cool place.
