azCHIA is a family owned business that has been importing and selling chia seeds since 2007. All of our chia seed comes from South America and is non GMO, raw, gluten and pesticide free. (USDA and FDA inspects every container we import) Dr Wayne Coates started his research with chia in 1991 while on the faculty at the University of Arizona. He has since retired and along with his wife Patrica sold chia for many years, but with a move to another state closed down AZchia. Thanks to our many customers for their support over the years.
