Rootalive Black Chia Seeds Details

Chia's defining property is what it does with water. The seeds absorb many times their own weight, forming a gel around each seed — which is why they turn a glass of liquid into pudding in twenty minutes and why they work as an egg substitute in baking.

That gel is soluble fibre, and it is the main event nutritionally. Chia is exceptionally high in fibre for a seed, most of it soluble, which is what slows digestion and gives the fullness people describe.

Alongside the fibre sit two more things worth having: alpha-linolenic acid, the plant form of omega-3, at levels among the highest in any seed, and complete plant protein. Chia carries all nine essential amino acids, which few plant foods manage.

Organic whole black chia from Paraguay, single ingredient, gluten free. 454 g — a full pound. At Rootalive, we help and inspire people to live a healthier and happier lifestyle. We take a lot of pride in our quality and strive to work harder every day to deliver only the best.

Who Rootalive Black Chia Seeds Is For

This suits anyone adding fibre, making overnight oats or chia pudding, baking without eggs, or wanting plant omega-3 without fish. Whole seeds keep far better than ground flax and need no refrigeration, which makes chia the easier of the two to keep in a cupboard.

Do not eat them dry in quantity — they absorb many times their weight in water, and taken dry with too little liquid they can swell in the throat. Soak them or take them with plenty of fluid. They also get everywhere and stick in teeth, which is the small daily cost of the format.

Frequently Asked Questions

Product Information

➕ What are Rootalive Black Chia Seeds?
Organic whole black chia seeds from Paraguay, single ingredient and gluten free. 454 g pouch.
➕ How much do I use?
Around two tablespoons, soaked in liquid or stirred into yoghurt, oats or a smoothie.
➕ How do I make chia pudding?
Stir three tablespoons of chia into a cup of milk or plant milk, leave in the fridge for at least two hours or overnight, then add fruit or sweetener.
➕ Is there a difference between black and white chia?
Nutritionally they are near identical. The difference is colour, which matters only for appearance.

Benefits of Ingredients

➕ Why do chia seeds gel?
They are high in soluble fibre, which absorbs many times its weight in water and forms a gel coating around each seed.
➕ What is alpha-linolenic acid?
The plant form of omega-3. The body converts a portion of it to EPA and DHA, though less efficiently than getting those directly from fish.
➕ Why is chia a complete protein?
It contains all nine essential amino acids, which is uncommon among plant foods and makes it useful in plant-based diets.

Usage and Storage

➕ How do I use them?
Soak in liquid for pudding or overnight oats, or stir into yoghurt, smoothies and baking. Always with adequate liquid.
➕ Are there any cautions?
Do not eat dry in quantity — chia absorbs many times its weight in water and can swell in the throat without enough liquid.
➕ How should I store it?
Store in a cool, dry place with the pouch or lid sealed and away from moisture.

Rootalive Black Chia Seeds are a whole-food source of dietary fibre, plant-based omega-3 and protein.

Additional Ingredients

None. Single ingredient, with no fillers, additives or anti-caking agents.

Warnings

Take with adequate liquid. Chia absorbs many times its weight in water and should not be eaten dry in quantity. Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a medical condition, or are taking medication. Keep out of reach of children.
