National Chia Day

National Chia Day celebrates the tiny chia seed and its versatility in foods and beverages. Chia seeds have a neutral flavor and contain omega-3s, antioxidants, fiber, and complete protein, making them easy to add to many recipes. They were also revered by the Maya and Aztecs for their natural energy and healing power, according to Mamma Chia.

Mamma Chia established National Chia Day in 2016, designating March 23 as a day to recognize what the company describes as a small but mighty seed. The first observance took place on March 23, 2016, with the organizer promoting chia through giveaways and other activities, as reported in Mamma Chia’s announcement.

How to Observe National Chia Day

Celebrate by adding chia seeds to a meal or drink. Try chia pudding, a chia beverage, or a new recipe that uses chia as an ingredient. You can also share your favorite chia recipes with others and post about the day using #NationalChiaDay, as suggested by Mamma Chia.
