Chia seeds are edible seeds harvested from a flowering plant namely Salvia hispanica, of the mint family. This seed has gained commercial popularity as a “superfood” in the last decade, owing to its dense nutritional values. For instance, it contains a healthy dose of omega-3 fatty acids, fibers, and proteins, which make it an ideal source for therapeutics. Furthermore, it has widespread application across several industries, including food processing industry, baking industry, and cosmetics, and personal care industry.
Chia seeds are widely used in the food sector. The oil obtained from these seeds is used in salad dressings, as an egg substitute for baking cakes and several other dishes to make them healthier. The growth of the global chia seed market is driven by increase in health issues, such as cardiovascular diseases and joint pains, which boosts the demand for chia seeds. In addition, the use of these seeds has gained extensive importance in therapeutic and dietary products, owing to their nutritional significance. However, availability of cheaper alternatives such as sesame seeds and rapid price fluctuations hamper the growth of the market.
Conversely, the nutritional supplements industry is increasing by 7% every year. Chia seeds are rich in omega-3, proteins, and soluble & insoluble fibers, which make it an ideal ingredient for nutraceuticals. This can be viewed as an opportunity by the manufacturers to expand the market base.
