Nutritional Information
Chia seeds are generally known as a source of dietary fiber, plant protein and plant-based omega-3 fats. Because the seeds absorb a lot of water, it helps to drink enough fluids when you eat them. For exact serving sizes, calorie values and allergen information, please check the Nutrition Facts panel printed on the package.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are chia seeds the same as sabja or tukmaria seeds?
No. Sabja comes from sweet basil, while chia is a different plant, though both swell when soaked and are used in similar drinks and desserts.
How long should chia seeds soak before use?
About 15 to 20 minutes in water or milk is usually enough, and an overnight soak in the fridge gives a softer, pudding-like set.
How do I keep the seeds in good condition after opening?
Seal the pack tightly or move the seeds to an airtight jar, and keep them in a cool, dry cupboard away from sunlight.
A small bag of chia goes a long way, so add Three Rivers Chia Seed to your next SubziCart.com order.
