The price of chia seeds is on the rise! With droughts in Bolivia, frosts in Paraguay, weather issues in Argentina and Mexico, the chia market is starting to spike. Contact us for the most current pricing and availability.
The United States is currently the largest market for chia, and we’ve seen growing demand in Turkey and Southeast Asia. Although the chia market spiked in 2013 and 2014, and prices had been steadily falling, we expect prices to stabilize and slowly increase in 2015.

For the dough:
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 pkg. cream cheese (8oz)
1/2 cup sugar
Add:
2.5 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
For the filling:
1 cup of strawberries
1 cup of sugar
6 tbsp chia seeds
1 egg, beaten
Beat butter, cream cheese, and sugar until smooth. Add flour and salt and beat until incorporated. Refrigerate dough while making filling.
To make filling, slice each strawberry into quarters. Add sliced strawberries and sugar to a pan on the stove, and heat until sugar is dissolved and strawberries are breaking down. Stir often. At the consistency you desire, remove from heat and let cool for 5-10 min. Stir in chia seeds! Allow chia seeds to absorb the moisture for up to an hour. Filling should set to jam-like consistency. If too runny, add more chia!
Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out dough and cut into 3-inch circles. Spoon 1 tsp of filling in center of each circle (try to include a chunk of strawberry on each). Form triangles by folding in edges, pinching corners, and leaving the opening at the center of the filling. Brush dough with egg.
Freeze cookies for 2 hours! This step is important, or your cookies are likely to loose shape in the oven. Preheat oven to 350, and bake until golden, about 30 minutes.
ENJOY! Makes ~3 dozen cookies
6-10 Ice Cubes
1/2 cup Almond Milk (I prefer unsweetened, original flavor)
2 Mangoes
2-3 tbsp Chia Seeds (Try our Pop Top To Go containers for easy pouring)
Combine all ingredients in a blender, and blend until the consistency you desire!
Tastes delicious, healthy, high in protein (almond milk and chia), high in vitamin C, vitamin A, and vitamin B6 (mangoes), no added sugar!
See the below pictures of Chia Seeds in water.
The bottom left picture is dry chia. The top left picture is chia that has been exposed to water. The two right pictures are chia suspended in water!
Chia seeds grow 9-10 times their size when exposed to a liquid, and as seen in the top left photo, chia seeds form a gel layer too.
This feature is great for hydration! Chia will slowly release the water during digestion.
This feature is also great for feeling fuller!
2 Bananas
3 Tbsp Chia Seeds
