Chia Seeds
Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica) are tiny, nutrient-dense seeds from a flowering plant in the mint family, native to southern Mexico and Guatemala. Historically significant to Aztec and other Mesoamerican cultures, chia seeds were consumed for their energy-boosting properties and were even used as currency. In the modern era, they have gained popularity worldwide as a health food due to their impressive nutritional profile and versatility in various dishes.
