Chia seeds have a mild and nutty flavor. Legend has it that they used to be revered by the Aztecs and the Maya. The name “chia” comes from the word chian, meaning “oily” in the Aztec language of Nahuatl. Chia Seeds are a good source of magnesium and excellent source of fiber. They are versatile, easy to use, and offer a satisfying crunch, especially when added to puddings.
