Product information for Hanoju Bio Chia Zaden: Application of Hanoju Bio Chia Zaden: Chia seeds originate from Mexico. The chia plant belongs to the mint family, but is also related to sage. They have been a source of food for the indigenous population of the United States for centuries. Aztec warriors ate chia while hunting, and other traditions tell of Native Americans in the Southwest mixing chia seeds with water. It is possible that the Spanish conquistadors took the seeds to Spain around 1521 (after the conquest of Mexico). Chia was given the botanical name Salvia Hispanica in the 18th century by the botanist Carl von Linnaeus. Chia grew only in the wild in Spain, and he mistakenly believed it to be a native species.Chia is planted in many South American countries in the spring. Because the plant rots easily, it is preferably planted in areas without heavy rainfall. The plant reaches a height of up to one meter and is easy to recognize by its many blue flowers. The seeds are harvested in the autumn.Chia seeds can be eaten raw or dried and are also used as a thickening agent or as an ingredient for sauces.
