Chia Seeds can be black or white in color, and come from the plant Salvia hispanica, that is found in Central and South America. These now easily available mottled seeds, pack quite a punch with fiber, protein, healthy fats, calcium, magnesium, and antioxidants. You can either have them just like that by soaking them in water/milk, or add the soaked version to smoothies, shakes, salads, or even desserts!
