Chia seeds, which have become one of the most popular healthy foods in recent years, are tiny black seeds obtained from the Salvia Hispanica plant. Salvia Hispanica is a species of flowering plant belonging to the mint family and grows in central and southern Mexico and Guatemala. It has been proven that it was planted by the Aztecs in the pre-Columbian era. Chia seed, which can be easily digested if prepared properly, is a versatile ingredient that can be easily added to recipes. Of course, there are many benefits as well. Studies reveal that regularly eating chia seeds can improve your health in several ways. One of the most popular ways to consume chia seeds is to soak them in water or milk for two hours to allow them to swell and soften. During this waiting period, the seeds absorb the liquid and form a gel, and the mixture acquires a custard-like texture. Alternatively, this mixture can be refrigerated overnight and made ready the next day. For flavoring, the seeds can be soaked by adding flavored milk, juices, cinnamon, ginger or a little honey.
