Chia seeds

Chia is a so-called pseudocereal, praised long ago by the Maya for its satiating properties. If there’s one product closely associated with the modern term “superfood,” it would be chia seeds. This acclaim is due to their high protein content, making chia an ideal protein source for vegetarians and vegans. What truly makes chia seeds unbeatable, however, is their high Omega-3 fatty acid content, which has proven benefits for physical health. Nowadays, you’ll find countless recipes that incorporate these tiny power-packed seeds. With Schalk Mühle’s organic chia seeds, you’re on the right path, as our seeds are 100% Austrian and organically grown.
