This is one of over a dozen products from Viva Naturals that I have tested since their entrance into the Canadian Market Place earlier this year. I find that overall all they are of superior quality and value than many other brands of similar products on the market. And I find the same with the Chia Seeds. Viva Natural's have been around since 2011 south of the border. Viva Naturals is striving to become an all-around health and wellness company. They have a very wide product range includes; nutritional supplements, organic food, and beauty products to essentials oils. Their goal is to help you reach your wellness goals, and thankfully they are expanding into the Canadian market place, with great quality products. I have had the advantage of receiving a number of their products to try at the same time. And I have used many of them by themselves or in combination with each other. I have been impressed with each of them, but enough about Viva Naturals as a company and on to reviewing this specific product the Organic Chia Seeds. It should be noted this product was only tried in combination with other viva products or other foods.

Over the last 10 years I have used about a half dozen varieties of Chia Seeds, from well-known brands to the bulk section at the store. And I must state that these are the best, most consistent Chia Seeds I have tried to date. For example when adding to smoothies I add them to some water to soak them for a bit before use. Every time I have used this bran all of them have emulsified, with many other brands it ranges from 40-80%. I almost always add these Chia Seeds to my smoothies to help thicken them, and to add some extra protein.

As I have stated before over the last few months I have had the opportunity to try 16 products from Viva Naturals. I have been impressed with them all! These Organic Chia Seeds are a great product and I trust this product and I trust and have a growing respect for the brand! These products are now available in Canada currently through the Amazon Marketplace. This is a great product at good price, looking forward to trying more products as they make their way to the Canadian Market.
