Treat yourself to chia seeds in the best RAW and Organic quality possible! Thanks to organic growing and gentle processing, you can be sure that our chia seeds do not contain any hazardous substances.

Chia is a complex functional food that is appreciated worldwide. They are an excellent source of fibre and protein and contain a wealth of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They are also the richest known plant source of omega-3 essential fatty acids.

Chia are the oily seeds of the herb Salvia hispanica, native to the mountainous regions of Central America. This annual plant grows to a height of approximately 1 metre and is characterised by its white or purple flowers. The fruits are grey to black seeds with a pleasant neutral taste, which are a real boon to our health.

The story

The beneficial effects of chia seeds were known even to the ancient Aztecs and Mayans, who used them mainly as a source of invigoration and energy. This is where the name "chia", the Mayan word for "strength", originated.

Aztec warriors ate chia during their expeditions. The Indians of southwestern North America, who traveled from the Colorado River to the Pacific Ocean in search of trade, ate chia seeds mixed with water. Chia can quickly fill you up and replenish important nutrients for a long time.

This traditional snack is still popular today as a great source of energy during physical exertion. No wonder chia seeds are sometimes called 'runner's food'. They have the ability to provide vitality and stamina during long sporting events.



What makes chia seeds great?

Chia seeds contain plenty of healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and fibre. That's why they are not only popular with athletes. They're also great for daily protein and health supplements, especially for people on a plant-based diet or diet.

Chia seeds are a rich source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in an ideal ratio (3:1), which are important for the proper functioning of the heart and nervous system.

The seeds also contain minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and potassium, which are important for the health of the whole body, and you will find vitamins B1 and B6 and vitamin E.

5 reasons to eat our Organic & RAW chia seeds

  1. They are a wholesome complex food
    They are a source of antioxidants, high in protein, fibre and many other vitamins and minerals.
  2. They give you energy
    Chia will give you a boost of energy that lasts for a good while.
  3. They help keep you feeling full
    Chia absorb a relatively large amount of water, mainly because they contain a lot of soluble fibre. This also slows down digestion and is good for the gut microbiome. This can be particularly useful during dieting.
  4. They are easily digestible
    The human body can digest chia seeds very easily.
  5. They are easy to prepare and store
    Chia seeds can be used in smoothies, soups, porridges, crackers and desserts. They are also a great thickener. They are easy to store and will keep dry for a long time without spoiling.
  6. 100% natural quality
    With our chia seeds you can be sure you are using the best you can get in organic and raw quality.

Where do our chia seeds come from?

Organic chia seeds are grown in Peru, where the best climatic conditions for producing high quality varieties are found. Thanks to organic farming methods and gentle processing techniques, they retain their full nutritional richness.



Uses

The uses of chia seeds in the kitchen are truly diverse:

  • They are suitable whole and ground for puddings, porridges, fruit and nut mixes, salads and muesli.
  • They are also a great ingredient for healthy bars and raw balls.
  • The seeds can also be added directly to smoothies without soaking.
  • You can also grind them into a fine powder and use this as a binding and thickening ingredient.
  • For more inspiration on modifying chia seeds, check out our recipes.

Our tip: If you want to increase the digestibility of chia seeds, we recommend pouring 1:7 water over them and letting them sit for 20 minutes. They form a specific jelly-like gel, soften and are easier to chew and digest. Learn more about activating the fruits in this video.

Míša 5. January 2017

Dobrý den,

potřebovala bych prosím poradit. Trpím chronickou zácpu. Prošla jsem mnohými vyšetřeními, zjistili mi syndrom obstrukční defekace a také, že mám dlouhé tlusté střevo prověšené v břiše, takže trvá než se potrava dostane celým střevem k vyprázdnění. k tomu mám ještě zjištěnou rektokélu a enterokélu. Bohužel je stav zácpy ale nepříjemný a dost mě omezuje v životě. A to nejvíce v životě osobním, v dobách dovolených apod. Kolegyně mi doporučili chia semínka, že pomáhají při vyprazdňování. Chci se optat, zda-li by mi mohli pomoci usnadnit vyprazdňování, a nebo naopak stav chronických zácp zhoršit. Trápí mě i nadýmání a pocit plnosti v břiše. Vyzkoušela jsem i psylium, které stav mnohonásobně zhoršil. Rozhodla jsem se vyzkoušet i přípravek probiozym, který je vychvalován, ale ani ten moji situaci moc neřeší.

Děkuji mnohokrát za odpověď, pěkný den Míša

Michaela Ptáčková odpověděl:

Krásný den, Míšo,

chia semínka podporují pohyby střev, ale stejně jako u psyllia, je potřeba dostatečně pít vodu, aby se z vlákniny nestala ve střevech zátka. Co se týče průjmu, zácpy, nevolnosti a nadýmání, vždy skvěle zafungoval mátový esenciální olej, který harmonizuje trávení, a já osobně se bez něj už nehnu, stačí kapku rozetřít na břicho a kapku na jazyk. Určitě doporučuji navštívit celostního terapeuta, který by tělo podpořil ještě bylinami, případně akupunkturou.

S pozdravem Michaela

Magdalena 31. May 2016

Dobrý večer mám dotaz můžu Chia semínka užít večer před spaním ?kdy je lepší užít ráno v nebo večer? V děkuji Vostalova.

Michaela Ptáčková odpověděl:

Krásný den, Magdaleno, chia semínka dodávají pozvolnou energii, proto jsou vhodnější ráno či odpoledne, navečer by mohl nastat problém s usínáním. Ale nejlepší je samozřejmě udělat si vlastní zkušenost.

Marie 2. March 2016

Je rozdíl v kvalitě chia semínek z Mexika a Bolívie?

Michaela Ptáčková odpověděl:

Krásný den, Marie, naše chia semínka vždy testujeme a ručíme za jejich kvalitu. Většinou se liší schopností nabobtnávat. Semínka, která málo bobtnají nebo nesplňují výživové požadavky u nás však nekoupíte.

Sidónia 2. November 2015

Rada by som vedela, koľko gr. za deň sa môže konzumovať Chia semiačok, aby sme si nepredávkovali organizmus niektorými vitamínamy a minerálmy, lebo ako viete, predávkovanie škodí.

Ďakujem za odpoveď a ostávam s pozdravom.

Michaela Ptáčková odpověděl:

Krásný den, Evropskou unií doporučená denní dávka je 15 g denně.

Lucie 27. October 2015

Dobrý den,chtěla jsem se optat zda mohu jíst chia semínka zároven s chlorellou, děkuji předem za odpověd,Lucie

Martina Greenberg odpověděl:

Hezký den Lucie,

chlorellu je ideální jíst samotnou, takto funguje nejlépe. Když ji však konzumujete spíše pro její výživovou hodnotu, můžete ji kombinovat s chia semínky např. do koktejlu. Kdyby jste však chtěla využít plný potenciál chlorelly, jezte ji nalačno. A chia semínka až později si přidejte do pití, kaše nebo do salátu.

Děkujeme za dotaz.

David Podhorský 18. August 2015

Dobrý večer, chtěl bych se zeptat jestli Chia semínka jsou vhodná pro mne,jako 15ti letého... hraju závodně házenou a dělám požární sport .. a potřeboval bych něco jako rychlý přísun živin do těla .. celé dny nejsem doma a o víkendech mám zápasy nebo závody .. .
Děkuji předem za odpověď :)

Michaela Ptáčková odpověděl:

Krásný den, Davide, chia semínka jsou známá jako semínka běžců, takže jsou pro vás perfektní. Můžete je jednoduše přidat do lahve s vodou. Jako přírodní ionťák bych doporučila Coco Hydro, jako zdroj energie Energy mix nebo ořechovo-ovocné tyčinky (již brzy budeme mít opět v nabídce). Regeneraci urychlí přírodní proteiny Sunwarrior, které jsou skvěle vstřebatelné a nezatěžují tělo jako živočišné proteiny.

Jitka Malátová 7. August 2015

Dobrý den,zajímalo by mě,když přidám semínka do polévky,jestli neztratí své blahodárné účinky. Tím,že projdou varem??? Děkuji Malátová Jitka

Lukáš Vaníček odpověděl:

Dobrý den,
osobně bych Chia semínka do polévky, která se teprve bude vařit nepřidával. Každopádně pokud projdou varem přijdou úplně o vše. Zůstanou zachované minerální látky (např. vápník, hořčík, fosfor). Enzymy budou neutralizovány. Vitamíny se z větší části zničí. Raději bych tedy chia konzumoval v jiné variantě než v polévce, popř. ji můžete nechat lehce vychladnout a přidat je tam potom (před namočené).

Helena 18. July 2015

Dobry den, chtela bych se zeptat na zeme puvodu chia seminka. Dekuji.

Michaela Ptáčková odpověděl:

Krásný den, Heleno, naše chia pochází z Argentiny.

Wolfová 24. June 2015

Dobrý den,
chci se zeptat,jestli můžu chia semínka,když kojím? Děkuji za odpověď ;)

Michaela Ptáčková odpověděl:

Krásný den, paní Wolfová, ano, jsou velmi výživná, můžete si z nich udělat chia kaši, přidat je do smoothie nebo jen do vody s citrónem a mátou.

Jitka Krátká 5. June 2015

Dobrý den, chtěla jsem se zeptat, zda je nutné semínka chia nějak drtit, nezdá se mi, že by celá semínka obalená gelem (nebo rosolem) se mohla v trávicím traktu rozpustit a tedy uvolnit tak všechny látky, které obsahují.
Děkuji za odpověď

Michaela Ptáčková odpověděl:

Krásný den, Jitko, veškerou potravu je samozřejmě nejlepší pečlivě rozkousat v ústech. Mixování nám tento proces usnadňuje a rozmixované jídlo je snadněji stravitelné a vstřebatelné.

Marcela 30. May 2015

dobry den chci se zeptat moje dcera nechce jist ryby mužu ji davat chia semínka aby doplnila v těle vitamin D nebo musí brat ryby olej ale nevim jak to do ni dostat děkuji Gottfriedova.

Lukáš Vaníček odpověděl:

Dobrý den,
chia semínka vitamín D prakticky neobsahují. Pokud chcete dceři přidat vitamín D do stravy, tak nejlepší varianta bude "http://www.vitalvibe.eu/cs/vitaminy-a-mineraly/76-vitamin-d3.html?search_query=d3&results=4". Z rostlinných zdrojů, bohužel vitamín D nelze doplnit. Pokud byste měla ještě nějaký dotaz, neváhejte napsat :-)
