While most of us know Chia from the popular and peculiar Chia Pets, Chia is far more than a humorous ornamental plant. Chia (Salvia hispanica) is one of the best-known plant sources of healthy fatty acids, which account for almost two-thirds of Chia's total fatty acid make-up. Chia Seeds are also an excellent source of fiber and a good source of calcium.
NOW Real Food Organic Black Chia Seeds are a tasty treat with a mild flavor that can be eaten on their own or added to many of your favorite recipes. They're also an excellent topping for salads, yogurts, puddings, and more.
Naturally occurring fatty acids (example) (per serving)
Omega-3 Fatty Acids (Alpha Linolenic Acid) 2.2 g (2,200 mg)
Omega-6 Fatty Acids (Linoleic Acid)
0.7 g (700 mg)
Because you are what you eat. NOW Real Food has been committed to providing delicious, healthy, natural and organic foods since 1968. We're independent, family owned, and proud of it. Keep it natural. Keep it real.

Healthy PB&J Sandwich with Cardamom Nut Butter & Blackberry-Chia Jam
Ditch sugary jelly or jam for fresh blackberries with this healthy PB&J sandwich. With a pinch of cardamom in the nut butter, it’s a welcome upgrade to this childhood favorite. Cardamom has a zesty citrus flavor that’s sweet and spicy at the same time. Mixed with the nutty, rich taste of almond butter or smooth peanut, and paired with the sweet-tart tang of blackberries, well, we’d tell you how next-level it is but our mouths are too full of the next bite. You butter try this recipe!
Healthy PB&J Sandwich with Cardamom Nut Butter & Blackberry-Chia Jam
