Abstract

An apparatus and method are disclosed for dispersing, measuring, and regulating chia seeds. The chia seeds are configured to provide a Mila blend of chia seeds, containing high nutrient and vitamin counts. The chia seeds are loaded into a container configured to hold and disperse the chia seeds. A base supports the container, while a dispersion end provides a surface for dispersing the chia seeds. A plurality of apertures allows the chia seeds to at least partially pass through. Each aperture can be sized and dimensioned differently to allow different sizes of chia seed to pass, and to measure the amount of chia seeds dispersed. A barrier rotates on the dispersion end to regulate access to the plurality of apertures. An access aperture positioned on the dispersion end provides a space sufficiently sized for loading/unloading the chia seeds.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus to disperse chia seeds, the apparatus comprising:
 a container, the container being configured to contain a predetermined quantity of chia seeds, the container comprising a base, the base being configured to support the container, the container further comprising a dispersion end, the dispersion end being configured to disperse the predetermined quantity of chia seeds, the dispersion end comprising a plurality of apertures, the plurality of apertures being configured to at least partially enable the predetermined quantity of chia seeds to pass through;   wherein the container comprises two separate compartments, each for holding chia seeds of different sized widths.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the predetermined quantity of chia seeds further comprise a Mila blend of chia seeds. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising two internal compartments for receiving ground chia a differing diameter ranges. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a barrier, the barrier being configured to at least partially cover the plurality of apertures. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the barrier rotatably moves along the dispersion end. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising an access aperture, the access aperture being configured to allow at least partial entry of the predetermined quantity of chia seeds into the container. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of apertures comprise a plurality of sizes and dimensions. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the container comprises a cylindrical shape. 
     
     
         9 . A method for dispersing chia seeds, the method comprising:
 providing a predetermined quantity of chia seeds;   loading a container with the predetermined quantity of chia seeds;   accessing a plurality of apertures; and   dispersing the predetermined quantity of chia seeds.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the predetermined quantity of chia seeds further comprises a Mila blend of chia seeds. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein loading the container with the predetermined quantity of chia seeds further comprises filling the container through an access aperture. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein accessing the plurality of apertures comprises manipulating a barrier on the dispersion end to allow access to a desired quantity of apertures. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the plurality of apertures comprises variable sizes, shapes, and dimensions. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the method of dispersing the predetermined quantity of chia seeds comprises shaking the container with the dispersion end beneath the base end. 
     
     
         15 . An apparatus to disperse chia seeds, the apparatus comprising:
 means for providing a predetermined quantity of chia seeds;   means for loading a container with the predetermined quantity of chia seeds;   means for accessing a plurality of apertures; and   means for dispersing the predetermined quantity of chia seeds.
