Chia seed

Chia seeds are the tiny, edible seeds of Salvia hispanica, a flowering plant in the mint family native to Central and South America. Recognized as a potent functional food and nutritional powerhouse, they are highly valued for their exceptional nutrient density. Chia seeds are one of the richest plant-based sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential omega-3 fatty acid. They are also packed with dietary fiber, high-quality complete protein (containing all nine essential amino acids), and crucial bone-supporting minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus.
