Organic chia seeds Chia seeds come from Salvia Hispanica, a plant in the mint family. Chia seeds were already a staple food among the Aztecs and, by 2010, were commercialized in countries including Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Mexico. In recent decades, the popularity of chia seeds has grown exponentially, as experts have described them as a new kind of superfood.
Chia seeds can be eaten straight from the package. Or you can mix them into your favorite dish: drink, smoothie, muesli, breakfast cereal, salad, or whatever. Chia seeds can be stored for years.
