Chia Seed Sourcing & Documentation

Chia seeds absorb many times their weight in liquid and form a gel, so manufacturers use them for texture, thickening and as an egg replacer, as well as for their crunch and look. We supply clean, whole chia seeds to your specification.

Every order is backed by the paperwork your QA team asks for. Product-specific COAs, allergen statements and facility audit documentation are available on request.

Chia Seed FAQs

What chia products do you supply?

Bulk whole chia seeds. Custom specifications, pack formats and private label are available on request.

Why do manufacturers use chia seeds?

Chia seeds absorb liquid and form a gel, which thickens puddings, jams and beverages and helps bind bars and baked goods. They also add crunch and visible seeds to breads, cereals and toppings.

Can chia seeds replace eggs in baking?

Yes. Mixed with water, ground or whole chia forms a gel that can replace eggs in many plant-based baked goods. A common starting point is 1 tablespoon of chia to 3 tablespoons of water per egg.

Are chia seeds gluten-free?

Chia seeds are naturally gluten-free. Gluten-free and kosher-certified options are available on request for products that carry those labels.

What specifications can you provide for chia seeds?

Our spec sheets cover purity, moisture, foreign material and microbiological limits. Product-specific COAs, allergen statements and facility audit documentation are available on request.

Do chia seeds need to be soaked?

Not always. Use them dry in breads, bars and toppings, or hydrate them first for puddings, jams and beverages, where the gel texture is the goal.

How should bulk chia seeds be stored?

Store chia seeds in sealed packaging in a cool, dry place, away from heat, light and humidity. Rotate stock first in, first out.
