Chia seeds are among the most potent functional foods on the planet. Harvested from salvia hispanica plants, chia seeds have been in use by the peoples of Central and South America for thousands of years, as far back as the times of the ancient Mayans and Aztecs. Chia seeds were used by their warriors as a perfect food source and an energy booster, bringing them on their long marches through the jungles and always eating some before going into battle.

Chia seeds are rich in protein, carbohydrates, antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and dietary fiber, making it one of the most nutrient dense foods in nature. The seeds can be used to prevent or help treat a number of illnesses and conditions. They can be used by dieters who want to lose weight, diabetics who want a natural method of blood sugar level control, athletes striving for greater endurance, or anybody who just wants to eat right and stay healthy.
Chia seeds come in two colors. There are black seeds and there are white seeds. Black seeds are far more common, making up 6 out of every 7 chia seeds. Contrary to popular belief, black chia seeds and white chia seeds are nutritionally identical, though some recent studies indicate that black chia seeds might contain a slightly higher level of antioxidants.
Hidalgo Foods brings you premium black chia seeds of only the highest quality. These seeds are grown organically using 100% natural methods. As with all our other products, our black chia seeds are GMO, pesticide, herbicide, and gluten free.
We recommend eating 45 grams (approximately 3 tablespoons) of chia everyday. Sprinkle on breakfast cereal, yogurt, jelly sandwiches. Blend in smoothies, mix in salads, soups, or use in breads and pastries.
