Organic Raw Chia Seeds. Chia is the edible seed sourced from the desert plant ‘Salvia hispanica’, a member of the mint family grown naturally in South America. Regarded locally as an important food for centuries, chia seeds are believed to have been a staple of the Aztec diet, and is still at the core of local food in Southern Mexico and Guatemala. Sevenhills Wholefoods’ chia is grown on small farms in South America. After a long growing season the seeds are harvested by machine, and then cleaned carefully. Interestingly, if soaked in water, chia seeds can absorb about 10-12 times their weight and form a gelatin-like substance.
