Chia Seed, Whole, Organic 1 lb
100% pure, organic whole chia seeds (Salvia hispanica). Tiny but powerful, chia seeds deliver a mild, nutty, and neutral flavor with a light crunch that blends effortlessly into wellness formulations, drinks, and nutrient-boosted meals.
Known for their remarkable ability to absorb liquid and create a natural gel, chia seeds have long been valued in traditional herbal and nutritional medicine as a whole-plant superseed for sustained nourishment and internal balance.
🌿 Traditional medicinal usage
Chia seeds have been used for centuries across traditional healing and nourishment systems:
-
Aztec and Mayan medicine: revered as an endurance-building seed, historically carried into battle and long journeys, used to support stamina, sustained energy, and strength. The word “chia” itself comes from the Mayan term for “strength.”
-
Indigenous Mexican and Central American herbal traditions: soaked into gel drinks and tonics to support hydration, digestion, and lasting nourishment, especially during times of exertion or seasonal heat.
-
Traditional Western herbal nutrition: used to support bowel regularity, digestive comfort, and steady energy through fiber-rich seed gels.
-
Folk wellness infusions: prepared as seed gel bases for calming internal inflammation, nourishing the gut, and supporting metabolic balance.
✨ Modern uses and benefits
Today, chia seeds are widely appreciated in modern wellness, nutrition, and apothecary preparations for:
-
Gut microbiome support: their soluble fiber acts as a prebiotic, helping feed beneficial gut flora
-
Sustained energy support: fiber + healthy fats slow digestion for long-lasting fuel
-
Digestive regularity: used in modern nutrition to support healthy bowel movement patterns
-
Natural hydration: chia gel helps the body retain water longer
-
Internal inflammation support: commonly added to wellness blends for soothing the gut
