What Are Chia Seeds?
Chia is an edible seed that comes from a desert plant grown in Mexico. It dates all the way back to Mayan and Aztec times. In the book You Staying Young, authors Dr. Michael Roizen, MD and Dr. Mehmet Oz, MD say that the antioxidant activity of chia seeds is higher than that of any whole food, even blueberries! No wonder chia is called a superfood!

- Dietary fiber in high amounts

- Magnesium
- Carbohydrates

Chia Fresca
Chia fresca has been a popular drink in Central America and Mexico for many years. It’s a simple drink made by putting chia seeds in water. When chia seeds are left to soak in water, a gelatinous coating forms around the seed. If you have a problem with textured drinks, this beverage may not be for you. However, the jellied chia seeds are easy to swallow and bring a little extra something to plain water.
