The recommended daily intake is 1-2 tablespoons (15-30g) of chia seeds. This provides 5-10g of fibre, 2-4g of protein, and a significant amount of omega-3 fatty acids. Start with 1 tablespoon if you are new to chia seeds and increase gradually. Excessive intake (more than 3 tablespoons) may cause digestive discomfort.

Black and white chia seeds are nutritionally almost identical — both contain the same omega-3, fibre, and protein content. White chia seeds have a slightly milder flavour and are preferred in light-coloured recipes (puddings, smoothie bowls). Black chia seeds are more common and slightly cheaper. Chau Foods supplies both varieties in bulk.

Yes, chia seeds can be eaten raw. However, soaking chia seeds in water for 15-20 minutes creates a gel-like texture that is easier to digest and increases nutrient absorption. For baking and cooking, raw chia seeds work perfectly. For smoothies and puddings, soaked chia is preferred.

Mexico, Bolivia, and Paraguay produce the highest quality chia seeds globally. Mexico is the original homeland of chia seeds (used by Aztecs for centuries). Bolivian and Paraguayan chia seeds are known for high omega-3 content and purity. Chau Foods imports premium chia seeds from these three origins.

Yes. Chia seeds are one of the most effective seeds for weight loss. They absorb 12x their weight in water, forming a gel that expands in your stomach and keeps you full for 3-4 hours. Per 28g serving: 138 calories, 10g fibre (40% daily value), 4.7g protein. Studies show that chia seeds reduce appetite by 30-50% when consumed before meals. Add 1 tablespoon to water 15 minutes before eating for best results.

Eating more than 3 tablespoons (45g) of chia seeds daily may cause bloating, gas, or digestive discomfort due to the extremely high fibre content (34g per 100g). Always drink plenty of water with chia seeds — dry chia can absorb moisture from your digestive tract. People on blood thinners should consult their doctor as chia seeds have mild blood-thinning properties. Start with 1 tablespoon daily and increase gradually.

Chia seeds and sabja (basil seeds/tukmaria) look similar but are different plants. Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica) are from Mexico, grey-brown, higher in omega-3 (5x more), and can be eaten raw or soaked. Sabja seeds (Ocimum basilicum) are from India, jet black, must be soaked before eating (never eat dry), and swell faster but have less omega-3. For nutrition, chia seeds are superior. For falooda and Indian drinks, sabja is traditionally preferred.
