SEEDS

The chia seed is an ancient grain and nutrient powerhouse. It has one of the highest concentrations of ALA omega-3 fat of any food and also contains antioxidants, fiber, high-quality plant-based protein, vitamins and minerals.

Food Safety Innovation

At Benexia®, we offer a variety of certified food-grade black and white chia seeds (FSSC 22000), grown and processed under the strictest quality and safety standards.

Not All Chia Seeds Are Created Equal

While chia seeds are naturally nutritious, not all are safe for high-moisture applications like overnight oats, porridge, beverages, or yogurt. Chia can carry soil-borne pathogens such as Salmonella and Listeria, which are a major risk in Ready-To-Eat (RTE) products. A single batch test doesn’t ensure full safety.
