Chia has a long history as a food for the Aztec and Mayan cultures, who appreciated its health benefits. Chia seeds have many of the same uses as flax seeds. Seeds can be mixed into juice or water, sprinkled on salads and other foods, added to smoothies and used in batter and baked goods. Can be sprouted also.

Chia contains a high amount of fiber, approximately 7 grams of fiber in a 25-gram serving of seeds. It also has minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, manganese and zinc. All of the essential amino acids are included, except for taurine. The antioxidant content is higher than that of blueberries, and chia seeds also have more iron than spinach and more calcium than cow's milk. They have twice the protein of other seeds and grains.
