Chia seeds are a great addition to a healthy diet, but you’re not the only one who isn’t sure where to find them in the grocery store. Most of the time, you’ll find the chia seeds in either the health foods aisle or a bulk foods aisle (like where you might find large bags of rice).

What are chia seeds?

We’ve all been there. You know you need to eat healthier, so you start Googling healthy eating and dieting and how to sneak better foods into your everyday diet. Sooner or later, you hit an ingredient you’ve never heard of. What are chia seeds, even? 

Chia seeds are just what they sound like: seeds of the chia plant. There are two main kinds:

  • Black chia seeds: Your most common chia seeds, which come from the salvia hispanica plant.
  • Golden chia seeds: Related, less common seeds from salvia columbariae

You might recognize the name from “chia pets,” which grew bright green sprouts like fur on ceramic sculptures. Don’t go buying a chia pet for your diet, though; you’ll often find chia seeds in one of two places at the store: health foods or bulk foods.

What do chia seeds taste like?

You’ll notice a very mild, nutty flavor to foods with chia seeds in them, which makes it a great addition to both savory and sweet dishes.

If you’re worried about how to integrate chia seeds into your diet, look for products like chia pudding, chia kombucha or granola made with chia seeds.
