Chia Seeds, White

White Chia Seeds

White chia seeds, like their black counterparts, are a nutritional powerhouse. The name "chia" comes from the Mayan word for “strength”. These tiny seeds deliver an impressive dose of plant-based nutrition with very few calories. They’re rich in fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, antioxidants, and complete protein, making them one of the most efficient superfoods available.

Unlike flax seeds, chia seeds do not need to be ground to unlock their nutrients. Whether consumed raw or soaked, they offer significant health benefits. Soaking allows the seeds to “sprout,” which breaks down enzyme inhibitors and enhances digestibility and nutrient absorption.

Key Benefits:

• Heart Health Support: May help regulate cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and reduce inflammation.

• Blood Sugar Balance: Supports stable energy and may help prevent insulin spikes.

• Plant-Based Calcium: Just one ounce contains ~18% of the daily recommended intake of calcium.

• High in Protein: Among the top plant-based protein sources—great for muscle support and satiety.

• Hydration Support: Can absorb up to 12x their weight in water, helping to maintain hydration and fullness.

Suggested Use:

• Mix into smoothies, yogurt, or cereal.

• Stir into juice or water for a chia refresher.

• Make chia pudding with plant-based milk and sweetener.

• Use as an egg substitute in vegan baking (1 tbsp chia + 3 tbsp water = 1 egg).

• Add to salads, baked goods, or energy bars.

Raw vs. Soaked:
You can eat chia seeds raw, but soaking them improves digestibility and unlocks more nutrients. Soak in a 1:10 ratio of chia to water (about 1.5 tbsp chia per 1 cup water) and let sit for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Recommended Intake: Up to 3 tablespoons per day, with plenty of water
