Chia is named after the Mayan word meaning "strength" - it is a super-seed that has been valued since ancient times. Add them to yogurt or salad, mix them into your morning smoothie, or make your own chia seed pudding.

Spanish sage seeds are small and black, and when soaked, they swell and soften slightly.

Chia is a superfood because, in addition to antioxidants, it also contains important unsaturated fatty acids, minerals (including magnesium, calcium, iron) and huge amounts of fiber. Chia seeds supplement vitamin and mineral deficiencies. They have a beneficial effect on the skeletal system, have anti-cancer properties and increase insulin sensitivity.
