Premium Indian Chia Seeds — Bulk Supplier & Exporter
iGreen International is a trusted chia seeds exporter from India, supplying premium quality Salvia hispanica seeds to health food brands, supplement manufacturers, and food processors worldwide. India has emerged as a significant chia seed producer in recent years, with the favorable growing conditions in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan yielding seeds with exceptional nutritional profiles that rival traditional South American origins.
As a bulk chia seeds supplier, we source from carefully selected farming communities in Madhya Pradesh's Malwa plateau and Rajasthan's semi-arid regions. These areas provide the ideal combination of well-drained soils, moderate rainfall, and temperature conditions that produce chia seeds with high omega-3 fatty acid content (over 18%), rich fiber content (over 34%), and superior oil yield (30-35%).
The global superfood market has driven exponential demand for chia seeds, and iGreen International has positioned itself as a reliable organic chia seeds wholesale partner for international buyers. We offer both conventional and certified organic chia seeds, with complete traceability from farm to container. Our organic certification covers the entire supply chain, ensuring compliance with USDA NOP, EU Organic, and other international organic standards.
Our chia seed processing facility employs food-grade stainless steel equipment specifically designed for small seeds. The cleaning process includes multiple stages of aspiration, gravity separation, metal detection, and optical sorting to achieve 99% purity. We remove all foreign matter including other seeds, stones, dust, and broken kernels. Each batch undergoes laboratory testing for oil content, omega-3 percentage, fiber content, moisture, and microbiological safety.
We supply both black chia seeds (the most common variety with slightly higher antioxidant content) and white chia seeds (preferred for products where darker color is undesirable, such as light-colored baked goods and beverages). Both varieties are nutritionally comparable, with the choice typically driven by the end-product application and visual preference of the consumer market.
iGreen International offers competitive pricing on chia seeds with flexible packaging options including 25kg PP bags for bulk buyers, 10kg retail packs for distributors, and complete private labeling services for brands looking to launch their own chia seed products. Our export team manages all documentation and logistics, delivering from Indian ports to destinations across Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Asia-Pacific.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we supply certified organic chia seeds with valid organic certification from accredited bodies. Our organic chia is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, processed on dedicated organic lines, and comes with full traceability documentation. We can provide USDA NOP, EU Organic, India Organic (NPOP), or other certifications as required by your market.
Our chia seeds consistently contain over 18% alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is the plant-based omega-3 fatty acid. Total oil content ranges from 30-35%, making our chia seeds among the richest plant sources of omega-3 available. Each batch is tested for fatty acid profile, and the exact percentages are documented in the Certificate of Analysis provided with every shipment.
Our minimum order quantity for chia seeds is 500 kg, which is lower than our standard spice MOQ due to the higher value of this superfood product. For regular buyers, we offer volume-based pricing incentives. We also provide samples (up to 500g) for quality evaluation before you commit to a bulk purchase.
Black chia seeds are the most common variety and have slightly higher antioxidant content. White chia seeds are less common, slightly milder in flavor, and preferred for light-colored food products where dark specks would be visually undesirable. Nutritionally, both are very similar in omega-3, fiber, and protein content. We supply both varieties separately or as a natural mix.
Our chia seeds have an impressive shelf life of 24 months when stored in cool, dry conditions. The low moisture content (below 8%) and natural antioxidant properties of chia seeds contribute to their excellent stability. We package in moisture-barrier materials and can provide nitrogen-flushed packaging for customers requiring maximum shelf life protection.
