Our Organic Chia Seeds are bought at fair trade prices and represent 500 years of selective cultivation from wild chia plants. They are harvested then passed through a special vibration cleaning machine to remove any grit and pollutants from the pure seed. They are then tested for heavy metals and pollutants, with the whole process ensuring our chia seeds are some of the purest on the market.
