These are not just small and tiny seeds; these are super seeds which are gaining popularity among the health conscious. Chia seeds are an excellent source of many critical elements, thus their status as a “superfood” is well-deserved. Chia seeds are high in fibre and protein, but they’re also one of the best plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids for vegans and vegetarians.

HISTORY 

 

The desert plant Salvia hispanica, a member of the mint family, produces chia seeds. Salvia hispanica seed is sold by a variety of names, including “chia” and numerous trademarked names. It is thought to have originated in Central America, where it was a mainstay of the ancient Aztec diet. Native Americans in the southwestern United States generally used the seeds of a related plant, Salvia columbariae (golden chia).  Chia seeds are grown primarily for their oil, but due to health benefits, they have gradually made their way into the food world.
