Chia seeds are seeds from the Salvia genus of the Lamiaceae family, native to Mexico. The scientific name for chia seeds is *Salvia hispanica*, and the species name *Salvia* means "to save." These chia seeds are small, blackish-brown seeds, about 1mm in size, and have water-absorbing properties. When they absorb moisture, they form a jelly-like membrane around themselves and expand. Because of this, chia seeds are said to expand in the stomach and intestines by absorbing water, making it easier to feel full. Chia seeds contain insoluble dietary fiber, which is said to have a regulating effect on the intestines. Additionally, chia seeds are rich in the essential fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid, which is believed to be beneficial for preventing lifestyle-related diseases. With these various healthy components in a balanced composition, chia seeds have recently come into use, primarily in the United States, and are consumed by adding them to beverages and other foods.
