About Chai seeds
Chia seeds, originally cultivated by ancient civilizations in Central and South America, are tiny black or white seeds from the Salvia hispanica plant. Renowned for their incredible nutritional profile, they are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, protein, calcium, magnesium, and antioxidants. These versatile seeds are often used in smoothies, puddings, baked goods, and sprinkled over yogurt or salads. Their high fiber content supports digestive health and helps with feelings of fullness, making them a popular choice for weight management. Omega-3s promote heart and brain health, while their generous serving of minerals supports bone strength. However, due to their fiber density, consuming them in excess may cause digestive discomfort for some individuals. Whether soaked or eaten dry, chia seeds are a simple, nutritious addition to modern diets with a long legacy rooted in Mesoamerican cuisine.
