⚫ Chia Seeds – Tiny Seeds, Big Power.

 🌿 What Are Chia Seeds?

Chia seeds are small black or white seeds from the Salvia hispanica plant, originally grown in Mexico. Though tiny in size, they’re a nutritional powerhouse packed with fiber, protein, omega-3, and antioxidants.

They are tasteless, which makes them easy to mix with any food or drink — and when soaked in water, they form a gel-like texture.
