See More Details for an explanation as to why we chose to offer chemical free rather than certified organic chia seeds.

Did you know?

Chia seeds are in the sage/mint family and therefore are naturally resistant to pests:

Organic chia is higher in price, but since the plant is inherently immune to pests, pesticides that might normally be present in conventional products are not effective or necessary in the production of chia.

Good Stuff By Mom & Me has chosen to offer the chemical-free version of chia, rather than the more expensive certified organic version, because of this information. We have carefully sourced our chia seeds and are confident that these are of the highest quality and purity.

Our chia distributor works hand in hand with a family of 5th generation Chia farmers out of Bolivia.

A note from our distributor:

"Our provider is HAACP and Eurepgap certified, along with being an ISO 9001 company. All of our Chia is fully traceable and as previously discussed, goes through extensive testing to ensure that it is of the highest nutritional value and quality. We are also a CGMP compliant company, and have very high standards as to what we bring in and out of our doors. All of our Chia Seed is Gluten Free, Kosher certified, Non-GMO and pesticide/chemical free. Chia is chalk full of antioxidants which protects Chia’s PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids) from becoming oxidized and going rancid. Chia Flour has a shelf life of 2-3 years and requires no special storage or temperatures. We especially love Chia because of its bioavailability. Due to Chia’s high protein, fiber, and nutrient content it is easily absorbed into the body and begins benefiting you almost immediately. The bioavailability only increases when the seed is milled into a flour, which makes it that much better for you."

We hope you will love these nutritional powerhouses as much as we do!
