These tiny egg looking seeds have been used for millenia, especially highly considered in Mayan culture where "chia" translated to strength. They're often used for their viscious binding effect when exposed to water, offering a natural glue for puddings and deserts.
These little seeds pack an extreme nutritional punch. Chia seeds are bursting with almost all essential minerals, providing most daily quotas in only 100g. Chia are also rich in the omega-3 ALA, an essential nutrient for body function.
