Chia seeds come from a flowering plant in the mint family that is native to Mexico and Guatemala. The seeds are rich in vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids, and are commonly added to smoothies, breakfast cereals, yogurt, energy bars, and baked goods. You can find them in the organic section of grocery stores and at health food and online specialty stores.
