Graines de chia, or chia seeds, are tiny, nutrient-dense seeds native to Mexico and Central America, historically cherished by the Aztecs and Mayans for their energizing properties. These seeds are rich in essential nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, protein, antioxidants, and various vitamins and minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Chia seeds are versatile and commonly used in smoothies, puddings, baked goods, or as toppings in various cuisines. Their high fiber content supports digestion and satiety, while omega-3s contribute to heart health and inflammation reduction. However, their high fiber may not suit individuals with certain digestive sensitivities, so moderation is advised. With a mild nutty flavor, chia seeds can be easily integrated into both sweet and savory dishes, making them popular in health-conscious diets worldwide.
