What is White Chia Seed?
The White
Chia Seed is much lighter than the normal "black" chia it is a
combination of white, tan and light brown seeds. It is a selective growing
method where as they plant the white seeds of the regular
chia seeds. This variety is not as common and usually costs a bit more
than the black... Many people like the white because it is less noticeable in
foods and aesthetically pleasing, especially when making the Chia Gel.

than the black when making the Chia Gel and think the nutrients will be
absorbed better by their bodies.
