Chia seeds are tiny black and white coming from the plant called Salvia Hispanica. They are arguably known to have originated from Mexico and discovered during Mayan and Aztec cultures.
Chia seeds have been used as tiny powerful energy boosters. What I love about them is that they are natural, unprocessed and they can be easily absorbed by the human body.
They are now classified as one of modern-day superfoods because of the properties they contain.
