The Latin name is Salvia hispanica. It originates from Mexico and Guatemala, and throughout history, it has been a very important food for the ancient Aztec people. However, despite its ancient history as one of the staple foods of the ancient Aztecs and Mayans, chia seeds have recently become a modern and very popular food.
Fortunately, chia seeds are also a simple food that can be easily incorporated into our diet. As an added advantage, chia seeds can be consumed whole or ground, while other seeds must be processed before consumption to benefit from their health advantages. Quality Grana chia seeds are naturally black or white. White chia seeds have more protein than black ones, while black seeds have more fiber than white ones.
Grana chia seeds have a pleasant and mild taste and are ideal for a nutritious breakfast or any meal. They can be mixed into milk, yogurt, water, plant-based drinks, smoothies, or juice without altering the taste. They are soluble in water, swelling multiple times and creating a liquid mixture similar to gel/jelly, thus serving as a gelling agent. It is recommended to soak them for about ten minutes before consumption.
Due to the ability of chia seeds to absorb liquid, they will indirectly contribute to hydration. They are ideal for people engaged in high-intensity sports; however, they are also recommended for anyone practicing any physical activity.
If you have a very active day due to tasks and exercise, Grana chia seeds provide you with more energy thanks to their potassium and protein content. If you are one of those who wake up early or perform an intense workout routine, you could benefit from consuming chia seeds.
