The Chia Seed (Semilla de Chia Entera) comes from a flowering plant in the mint family that is native to Mexico and Guatemala. Rich in fiber, vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids, the tiny black seeds are added to smoothies, breakfast cereals, yogurt and baked goods. Chia seeds were prized by the Aztecs and Mayans as both food and medicine. Today, the seeds are enjoyed in chia fresca, a fruity beverage where the gelatinous seeds add texture. Use chia seeds to make an easy non-dairy pudding – simply combine with coconut milk and let stand until thickened.
