Regeneratively grown
A rain-fed crop farmed with regenerative practices across a network of family-owned farms in Bolivia, Argentina and Paraguay.
Sustainability
A single crop, grown in balance.
Focusing on one crop lets us do it responsibly — regenerative farming, rain-fed fields, whole-seed valorization and full traceability, now formalized as a Certified B Corporation.
Our sustainability principles
Zero irrigation
Chia grows without irrigation — our farming uses no water to grow the crop, only what nature provides.
Zero waste
We valorize the whole seed into oil, fiber and protein, so nothing is wasted along the production line.
Fully traceable
Vertical integration means every batch is traceable from the field to your facility — one chain, one owner.
Performance, 2023
Progress we measure.
Selected figures from our Sustainable Performance & Progress reporting. We publish and improve them year over year.
10,000 Hectares under regenerative cultivation 2023
3,200 t Chia seeds produced 2023
1,500 t Seed ingredients processed 2023
1,421 tCO₂e carbon footprint GHG Protocol, 2023
Zero Water used to grow Rain-fed farming
Zero Waste in production No water or chemicals used in processing
Figures for the 2023 reporting year. GHG figure per the GHG Protocol.
Field to facility
Vertical integration, end to end.
Owning the chain — from seed to ingredient — is what makes our quality, traceability and sustainability claims verifiable.
- 01
Regenerative farming
Rain-fed chia grown across our partner fields in Bolivia, Argentina and Paraguay — a network of family-owned farms under regenerative, zero-irrigation practices.
- 02
Cleaning & natural sterilization
At our modern, food-grade Arica facility, seed is cleaned and sorted, then treated with our LM (Low Moisture) technology — a natural, chemical-free sterilization independently validated to a Log-5 reduction — for clean-label, ready-to-eat safety.
- 03
MicroTech® milling
Our exclusive, solvent-free MicroTech® process reduces the seed into micro-particles — a particle-size distribution under 125 and 435 microns — creating XIA Fiber and XIA Protein with no enzymes, solvents or additives.
- 04
Ingredient solutions & delivery
Cold-pressed oil, microencapsulated omega-3 and functional flours are documented, certified and delivered worldwide — fully traceable from field to facility.
