General Information: Mumm’s Organic Chia produces tender microgreens with a mild, slightly nutty flavour. Seeds form a gel when soaked, so they are grown on soil or microgreen mats rather than in jars. Easy and reliable for indoor growing with consistent results year-round. Suitable for beginners and highly nutritious, providing omega-3s, antioxidants, and vitamins.
