Chia Seeds
From N$36.00
Chia seeds are tiny but extraordinarily nutrient-dense seeds harvested from the Salvia hispanica plant, native to Central America. Long celebrated as a superfood, they are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, protein, and a remarkable range of vitamins and minerals that support overall health and vitality. Beyond their impressive nutritional profile, chia seeds have also found a valued place in natural skincare and hair care formulations for their hydrating, antioxidant-rich properties — making them a truly versatile ingredient for both wellness and beauty applications.
