Import Chia Seeds — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in Peru

Chia seeds supplied by CONSORCIO HUASI ALTO ANDINO are the edible kernels of Salvia hispanica, a member of the mint family Lamiaceae. The seeds contain a notably high proportion of the essential amino acid lysine, which contributes to their reputation as a brain‑supporting superfood. Farmers cultivate the crop in the Andean mountains and along the Peruvian coast, where the climate supports robust seed development. The supplier offers the product for bulk sale to international buyers.

In the global market chia seeds typically exhibit a moisture content of 6‑8 % and a seed diameter of 1.5‑2 mm, both regarded as standard for food‑grade material. Oil content commonly ranges from 30‑35 % and protein from 15‑20 % of seed weight, providing the nutritional profile valued by manufacturers. The colour is usually grey with dispersed black and white speckles, a visual cue of natural processing. These attributes align with the specifications demanded by health‑food processors and ingredient distributors.

The primary buyers are manufacturers of functional beverages, snack bars and dietary supplements that require a plant‑based source of omega‑3 fatty acids and fibre. Importers should request the supplier’s phytosanitary certificate and any available analysis of lysine concentration before placing an order. Trade terms are negotiated per shipment, and the supplier’s response statistics indicate that inquiries have not yet been answered, so confirming lead time and payment conditions directly is essential.

CONSORCIO HUASI ALTO ANDINO is registered at Jr. Real Nro. 781, Matahuasi, Concepción, Peru. The company is listed as an imported‑tier supplier and carries a harbor trust tier on the platform, indicating that it meets basic verification requirements. Its response rate is recorded as 0 %, with no recent replies logged, signalling that prospective buyers should allow additional time for communication.

The consortium aggregates output from smallholder farmers who grow chia in high‑altitude valleys and coastal zones. While the listing does not disclose specific certifications, the supplier can be asked to provide organic or fair‑trade documentation if required by the buyer’s market. Bulk transactions are the primary mode of sale, and the supplier does not state a minimum order quantity, so the importer must negotiate that detail directly.
