%X Salvia hispanica, known also by its popular name, chia,is a plant of the Lamiaceae family. The plant is considered apseudocereal and has a high oil and protein content. Mayansand Aztecs used it as a medicinal product and food supplementfor added endurance. Its nutraceutical properties are dueto high content in dietary fiber, natural antioxidants, andunsaturated fatty acids (60% α-linolenic acid). The proteincontent of chia is higher than that of most traditional grains.
