Chia Bia Whole Chia Seed

Chia Bia is an Irish brand that specializes in the production and distribution of high-quality chia seeds and related health foods. Founded in County Waterford, the brand was established following the founder's personal discovery of the health benefits of chia seeds, leading to a mission to make this nutritional superfood more accessible across Europe.

The product is primarily processed and packaged in Ireland using seeds sourced from dedicated growers in South and Central America, where the climate is optimal for chia production. The brand emphasizes the high nutritional value of its products, marketed as a rich source of fiber, protein, and Omega-3 (ALA).

In terms of ownership, Chia Bia was originally an independent entrepreneurial venture. However, it was later acquired by the Mayo-based company, Portwest, which is better known for its workwear but has expanded its business portfolio into health foods and property investment. The brand continues to operate as a specialist healthy food division within this larger Irish corporate structure.
