These versatile and nutritious seeds are delicious toasted and sprinkled on salads, added to smoothies or in baking. They make a great vegan egg replacement too.
Grown by Peter and Andrew Fairs in Essex, these chia seeds are the result of five years of crop trials and developments. The tiny oil-rich seeds are harvested from the Salvia hispanica plant, a member of the mint family originating in central America, where chia was a staple food in Aztec cultures, alongside beans and corn.
Toast and sprinkle on salads, use in baking, add to smoothies, porridge or granola.

These are great but I do struggle with trying to toast them and then getting them to gel. Any tips from anyone would be gratefully appreciated. I dry toast them in a pan but they do stick a bit as I do not use non stick.
I use these every day in raspberry chia pudding - I like the fact that they are British.
Great chia seeds with low food mileage

These are easily the best black beans I've tasted. Soaked overnight and pressure cooked for 10 minutes, they were perfect. The most surprising was the aquafaba, rich and sweet, it makes an amazing chocolate mousse.
Love this bread so much
The absolute best bread
This is the cleanest grain I’ve used to home mill.
No extras, no chaff and grinds beautifully.
Excellent flavour and makes (so far) very good biscuits and whole grain bread.
Really like the idea of the population wheat as it has to be considered as a way forward to less input reliant farming.
Organic which is all we use through choice.
Thank you and congratulations to the growers and processor.
Wonderful results and so easy with a soda bread recipe. Lovely colour,density and flavour.
I use 3 measures of Black Wheat and add to it 1 measure of Strong White Flour.
Sometimes I add mixed grain flour as well. Always a perfect product,
