What are chia seeds?

Chia seeds are nutrient-rich seeds derived from a plant called Salvia hispanica (of the mint family), native to Mexico and Guatemela. Aztec and Mayan civilizations regularly consumed chia seeds as a whole grain or ground into flour and used in a variety of dishes. The word chia means “strength” in the Mayan language and, according to folklore, the seeds were prized by ancient cultures for their energy-boosting properties.

Chia seeds are a natural source of omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs), particularly alpha-linolenic acid. Omega-3 EFAs are polyunsaturated "good" fats. They're "essential" because the body needs them for complete health, yet it cannot produce them on its own ( they must be acquired through diet or supplementation).
