Chia Mia is a Cold Process milling of the finest quality organic Chia Seed. Chia is the richest plant source of omega-3 fatty acids and contains natural antioxidants It is available as raw material for use in Functional Foods, Nutraceuticals and Dietary Supplements. Chia’s unequaled omega-3 fatty acid stability is a result of the natural antioxidants it contains. Oxidation of food lipids is a major concern for both consumers and manufacturers. If not controlled, oxidation can produce off-flavors (typically a fishy flavor), and promotes degenerative diseases associated with aging such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, cataracts, immune system decline, and brain dysfunction.
In pre-Columbian times chia was one of the four basic foods of Central American civilizations. It was less important than corn and beans, but more important than amaranth. Tenochtitlan, the Capital of the Aztec Empire, received between 5,000 and 15,000 tons of chia as an annual tribute from conquered nations. Chia seed was not just a food, but was also used for medical purposes and as an offering to the Aztec gods. The use of chia in pagan religious ceremonies caused the Spanish conquistadors to try and eliminate it and replace it by species brought from the old world. The conquistadors came close to being successful in their crusade against New World practices such as growing chia and practicing various customs, as many disappeared. Corn and beans were an exception. They survived the conquistador’s efforts and became two of the world’s most important crops. However, because of its religious use, and maybe because chia was unable to adapt to production under European climatic conditions, it was pushed into obscurity for five hundred years.

Review : Milled means ground
It wasn’t very clear that this product was ground chia meal, my bad for not reading closer. I’ll still use it, but I really wanted 5 lbs of whole chia seeds. The quality appears fine, shipping was super speedy, but I wonder how long the product will remain fresh being ground? I guess I’m going to find out!
