In recent years chia has become an increasingly popular addition to vegan meals. The fashionable food has often been labelled a ‘superfood’ for its versatility and impressive nutritional value. Sourced from the plant Salvia Hispanica – a member of the mint family – chia seeds originate from Central and South America, where they grow naturally in the warm climate. Legend states that as early as the 14th and 15th centuries, Aztecs and Mayans used chia as a source of energy.
