Chia seeds, native to Mexico and Central America, are tiny nutrient-packed seeds harvested from the Salvia hispanica plant. Revered for centuries by Aztec and Mayan cultures, these seeds are celebrated for their impressive nutritional profile. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, protein, calcium, and antioxidants, they support heart health, digestion, and long-lasting energy. Chia seeds can expand when soaked, forming a gel-like texture, which makes them versatile for smoothies, puddings, and baked goods. Gluten-free and plant-based, they’re popular in vegetarian, vegan, and health-conscious cuisines worldwide. While chia seeds are generally well-tolerated, excessive consumption can cause digestive discomfort due to their high fiber content. Moderate use is key to enjoying their full benefits.
