chia

Chia seeds are harvested from the Salvia hispanica plant, a type of sage in the Mint family. The seeds are high in Omega-3 fatty acids, protein, boron and calcium.


Chia seeds are also the seeds used in the Chia Pet.


Chia seeds are very absorbent and develop a gelatinous texture when submerged in water over a period of time. Chia seeds absorb nine times their weight in water.

The sprouts of the chia seed are also edible and can be used in salads, green smoothies, sandwiches, soups and other dishes.

You'll find bloggers talking about chia seeds at sites like Raw Food Diet and ChiaSeedMe.com.
