Don't be fooled by their size — these tiny seeds pack a powerful nutritional punch. Chia seeds are one of the best sources of plant-based omega-3 essential fatty acids (1). That includes ALA which helps keep your cholesterol at a healthy level (2). Chia seeds are also naturally high in fibre and contain plant-based protein to support your healthy lifestyle. These tiny seeds come from the chia plant salvia hispanica — a member of the mint family originally grown in Mexico and Guatemala. Spotted a new look? Myvegan has gone through an exciting redesign, and as we step into this new era, you'll see some different packaging in your orders. Because we don't believe in wasting perfectly good packaging — that would go against our sustainability pledge — you might get a mix of old and new designs inside your orders. But don't worry, it's still the same high-quality, plant-based product.
