Chia seeds come from a flowering mint plant native to Mexico and Guatemala, and were once a staple of Maya and Aztec diets.
Chia seeds have a subtle flavor and crunchy texture.
They’re great in smoothies and juices, mixed into yogurt and oatmeal, or sprinkled onto a salad. Try making chia pudding with dried apricots and pineapple, or a batch of blueberry-chia ice pops.
