Whole chia seeds will stay in good condition at room temperature for several years. There is no need to keep the seeds in the refrigerator, whether it’s kept in sealed bags or not. The seed’s natural antioxidants provide this stability. Storing chia in a closed container will help extend its shelf life.

Chia seeds are said to have:
-1 time the protein of any other seed or grain
-2 times the calcium of milk, plus boron which is a trace mineral that helps transfer calcium into your bones
-3 times the amount of potassium as bananas
-4 times the reported antioxidant strength of blueberries
-3 times more iron than spinach

Do You Refrigerate Chia Seeds after Opening? You can store chia seeds in your fridge for a little shelf-life boost. However, it’s not absolutely necessary, and you can keep them in a cool, dark place instead.

Seeds may be kept in a sealed container in the pantry away from heat sources (cool, dark & dry), but will enjoy a longer shelf life in the refrigerator or freezer (also in a tightly sealed dark container).
