Chia Seeds for
Functional Food & Supplement Brands
Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica) are used across dietary supplement, functional food, and consumer packaged goods manufacturing — primarily for their omega-3 fatty acid content, high dietary fibre, and protein profile. They are a standard ingredient in health food products, beverage mixes, granola and snack formulations, and dietary supplement capsule blends.
We supply chia seeds in bulk for manufacturers and distributors. Enquire with your specification — grade, packaging format, quantity, destination port, and any regulatory requirements — and we will confirm current supply details, pricing, and dispatch a pre-shipment sample with third-party CoA for your quality verification.
