Our chia seeds originate from select regions reputed for growing the highest quality chia, and we’re meticulous about the growers we work with. Securing the highest quality chia seeds and supporting the growers who grow them is of primary importance to us. Getting the organic certification can be highly cost prohibitive for many of the smaller growers we work with. Therefore, we made the conscious decision to work with the growers and not the companies issuing what can be costly certifications. Furthermore, we know that by its very nature, chia is an extremely hearty plant and our growers do not use pesticides. As an added step, we take the extra quality assurance measure to screen for pesticides ourselves.
