Reference: CHIA-18
Chia is a sage. It is an annual plant that can reach up to 1 meter in height, with the scientific name Salvia hispanica.
The composition of chia seeds closely resembles that of other mucilaginous seeds like flaxseeds and psyllium. Unlike flaxseeds, chia does not have anti-nutritional factors, which limit the use of flaxseeds without prior heat treatment. Anti-nutritional factors are cyanogenic glucosides or linatins, inhibitors of vitamin B6 that prevent its action. Moreover, chia has a much more pleasant taste than flaxseeds, and birds consume it more readily.
