About Chia seed
Chia seeds are tiny black or white seeds derived from the Salvia hispanica plant, native to Central and South America and traditionally used in Aztec and Mayan diets. These seeds are packed with nutrients, offering a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fiber, protein, and essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Known for their ability to absorb liquid and form a gel-like texture, chia seeds are often used in smoothies, puddings, baked goods, and as a thickening agent in recipes. Their high fiber content supports digestion and helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels, while their omega-3s promote heart and brain health. Chia seeds are also low in calories and free of gluten, making them suitable for various diets. However, overconsumption may lead to digestive discomfort due to their fibrous nature, so moderation is key.
