Overview and Use: Chia seed has become popular due to its many healthy benefits.  This seed is very rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and fiber.  Chia seed can be eaten raw as a dietary fiber, or can be ground up and used to create a meal called pinole.  Like corn meal, pinole can be used to make cakes, breads, biscuits and porridges.

We really love using these seeds as an exfoliant in our formulas, as it holds up well and offers vibrant natural color variations.
