Chia is an edible seed produced by the flowering plant Salvia hispanica, which can be found in Latin America. Given that the region supplied more than 80% of the world's chia seed supply in 2021, Latin America is regarded as one of the major suppliers. Because they are high in calories and packed with nutrients, chia seeds are preferred. The seeds' primary nutrients are fibres, protein, fats, calcium, manganese, magnesium, and phosphorous. They also contain trace amounts of potassium, zinc, and vitamins B1, B2, and B3. The seeds improve metabolic health while reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. The seeds strengthen bones and muscles, prevent early ageing of the skin, and protect body cells from free radical damage. Chia seeds are increasingly in demand in the food, beverage, personal care, and nutraceuticals sectors due to their health benefits.
Revenue for the Chia Seeds Market reached US$ 691.7 Million in 2021, growing at a CAGR of 28.0% over the forecast period (2022 to 2030).
