Chia is an annual plant, reaching a height of 1 m, native to the central and southern regions of Mexico and Guatemala.
In Nahuatl means "oily", and in fact: valuable chia oil was obtained from the seeds of the plant. The leaves of the plant are long and wide, the flowers are purple or white, and the seeds, about 2 mm in diameter, found in the fruits of the plant, can be brown, gray, white or black. The local population of the regions where this sage grows, used and continues to use its seeds to prepare nutritious drinks and various dishes. For example, the Aztecs included chia seeds in the top five important food products and valued them so highly that they could pay taxes and bring them as gifts to priests or leaders. Before use, chia seeds are usually soaked in water or another liquid for ten minutes. When the seeds mix with water in the stomach, it gives a feeling of satiety and reduces the amount of food consumed, so those who want to eliminate excess weight should add chia seeds to their diet. Chia goes well with almost all dishes: salads, soups, green smoothies, yogurts, fruit juices, sauces and fish. Young chia greens, which have a light minty aroma, are also used.
