Organic Chia Sprouting Seeds

Organic Chia Sprouting Seeds are seeds of Salvia hispanica, a plant cultivated in the Americas for centuries. The dry seeds have a mild, nutty flavor and can be stirred into beverages, yogurt, oatmeal, or cereal, or added to baked goods. They may also be grown on a tray for sprouts or microgreens.

Sprouting Note: Chia is a mucilaginous seed that forms a gel when wet, so do not soak it or use the standard rinse-and-drain jar method. Spread the dry seed in a thin, even layer on a damp, food-safe growing pad, soil, or other suitable sprouting surface. Mist as needed to keep the surface damp but not waterlogged, and provide good air circulation. Follow the package directions for harvest timing. Always use clean equipment and potable water.

Yield: One teaspoon of dry seed yields about 1/2 cup of sprouts under typical conditions. Results vary by method and environment.

Storage: Keep dry seed sealed in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration can help extend germination life. For more options, browse our sprouting seeds.
