Aztec sage seed (Salvia Hispanica). Chia is a plant belonging to the leguminous plant family, which was originally cultivated by the Aztecs in Mexico. Chia seed as a newly discovered food provides an opportunity to make our diet healthier with regular consumption, as it contains a very high percentage of Omega 3 fatty acids, antioxidants, dietary fiber, minerals and vitamins.

The easiest way to consume chia seeds is to eat them raw. The seeds can be added to breakfast cereal or muesli, but they can also be consumed on their own, mixed into fruit juice, milk, or yogurt or kefir.

Among the desserts, the use of chia seeds may arise in connection with various puddings and milkshakes, smoothies. Pudding can easily be made from chia seeds, as they absorb well and have a pleasant, gelatinous texture.
