Organic black chia sprouting seeds grow into tender greens for salads, sandwiches and soup garnishes. Harvested young, the sprouts have a fresh, sweet flavor that makes them easy to add to everyday meals.

Grow chia using the dry tray method without presoaking. Mist the seeds, cover to retain moisture and keep them moist; move the seedlings into bright light after the cotyledons appear. Harvest in approximately 10–15 days while the sprouts are still young, before their flavor becomes more bitter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should black chia seeds be soaked before sprouting?

No. Black chia sprouting seeds should not be presoaked because excess moisture makes them gelatinous. Plant them on a growing medium in a tray, mist and cover to retain moisture.

When should I harvest chia sprouts for a sweeter flavor?

Harvest chia sprouts while they are young, green and less than an inch tall, generally within 10–15 days. Their flavor becomes more bitter as they mature.

Chia sprouts can be eaten raw or cooked. Add young sprouts to salads and sandwiches, or use them as a tender garnish for soups.
