Chia Seed Oil

Chia Seed Oil – Cold-Pressed Omega-3 Rich Oil for Food and Nutraceutical Applications

Product Overview

Chia Seed Oil is a cold-pressed fixed oil extracted from the nutrient-dense seeds of Salvia hispanica. Renowned as one of the richest plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids (alpha-linolenic acid, ALA), it also contains antioxidants, polyphenols, and essential amino acids that promote overall wellness. Its mild flavor and light golden color make it ideal for functional foods, dietary supplements, and natural skincare formulations.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply Cold-Pressed Chia Seed Oil produced under ISO 22000 Food Safety Management standards. Our oil is extracted at low temperatures to preserve delicate fatty acids and natural antioxidants. With strict traceability and consistent quality control, Tuna Sourcing ensures high-grade supply for the food, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries worldwide.
