Chia is actually a member of the Mint family and is native to Mexico. Chia seeds are consumed like whole grains, but they’re pseudo-grain. That means they’re the carbohydrate-rich seeds of a nongrass plant. When chia seeds encounter liquid, they expand and form a thick gel.
Chia seeds were said to be a staple of Aztec and Mayan diets but were later banned because of their ritualistic religious use. Over the last century or so, they’ve enjoyed a minor following but recently made a comeback on the market as a potential superfood.
An effective way of consuming this superfood is to soak the seeds in liquids so they swell up and digest faster.
