It is a biannually cultivated plant which originated in Mexico and Northern Guatemala, it is part of the mint family scientifically named Salvia hispanica. Its name is derived from the Spanish word chain which means oily, referring to the oily chia seed.
Used traditionally as folk medicine, food, cosmetics, for religious purposes and art in both the Aztec and Mayan civilizations, it was such an important part of their daily lives that it was the second most-produced crop after beans.
Ground or whole chia seeds are used in Argentina, Bolivia, Guatemala, Mexico, and Paraguay for nutritious drinks and food. Today, chia is cultivated on a small scale in its ancestral homeland of central Mexico and Guatemala, and commercially in Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Mexico.
