Other Names - Chia seeds - chia beej- Tokma dana- salvia hispanica
Chia seeds are the edible seeds from a flowering desert plant related to mint, salvia hispanica, which grows in Mexico and was regularly used in Mayan and Aztec cultures. In Mayan, the word “chia” means strength, which is appropriate because these little powerhouses are full of nutrients that have been depended on by warriors for added energy.
