Chia is a sustainable and environmentally friendly product.

The high oil content of chia’s leaves acts as an extremely potent insect repellent and eliminates the need for pesticides. Chia is a member of the mint family and is technically known as Salvia hispanica L. If you have ever grown mint, you know insects never bother it; the same is true for chia.

The use of chia as an omega-3 source prevents depletion of fish stocks, and also eliminates concerns about the accumulation of toxins such as dioxin and mercury that may accumulate in fish and fish products.
