Chia (salvia hispanica) is food rich in antioxidants, proteins, fiber, and omega-3 fatti acids. It contains up to 23% protein, and 3 and a half ounces have the same omout of omega-3 than a 20 ounces of salmon. HAve you tried? You can buy it in health food stores, you can eat ir raw or mixed in baked goods. It is a great food.

no, if have never heard about this chia seeds before. i have only come across about it now. it seems a very healthy food to take. i believe that i cannot try it at all because, from where i live this is unheard of. this can only mean that it is not available in our locality.

where are you from. The chia seeds are oiginally fromMexico. Actually, the state of Chiapas got its name from its seed. In the Maya empire there wee four main foodstuff: corn, beans, amaranth, and chia seeds. Records show that chia were used for paying tribute to mayaian gods.
