Benexia, an innovative food company focused on sustainable agriculture, has introduced a new plant-based milk made from whole chia seeds. Launched on Costco shelves, this “first of its kind” milk option could reshape the alternative milk market while reducing environmental impact.
Benexia, an innovative food company dedicated to sustainable agriculture, unveiled its revolutionary plant-based milk, Seeds of Wellness Chia Milk, at Costco locations across the United States. This new milk alternative, the “first of its kind,” is crafted from whole chia seeds, offering a creamy consistency and a nutrient-dense alternative to traditional dairy products.
Benexia is known for its commitment to regenerative agricultural practices, using rainwater irrigation systems and micro-milling processes to retain chia’s nutritional value, including healthy fats and dietary fiber—two nutrients often lacking in the average American diet. The company’s chia milk is an environmentally conscious choice that reduces water consumption and waste, while also contributing to water security, making it an ideal option in today’s climate-conscious market.
The launch comes at a time when alternative milks are on the rise, with the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade reporting that 20% of milk revenue in North America comes from alternative options. In addition, the University of North Carolina predicts that alternative milk revenue per capita will rise by 127% by 2027. As chia milk gains popularity, it could play a significant role in reducing the environmental footprint of the dairy industry, which is known for its resource-intensive practices and methane emissions.
With its debut on Costco shelves, Benexia’s chia milk may not only redefine the plant-based milk market but also help shape the future of sustainable food products.
