Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica L.) are small seeds from an annual herbaceous plant, which contains healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, dietary fiber, protein, vitamins, and some minerals. The health benefits of chia seeds can help to lose weight and control blood sugar and cholesterol.
