Chia is sage. It is an annual plant up to 1 m tall whose scientific name is Salvia hispanica.
The composition of chia seed closely resembles that of other mucilaginous seeds such as flaxseeds and psyllium. Unlike flaxseed, however, chia does not have anti-nutritional factors, factors that limit the use of flaxseed without prior hot treatment. Anti-nutritional factors are cyanogenic glycosides or linatins, inhibitors of vitamin B6 that prevent its action. Chia also has a much more pleasant taste than flaxseed and birds consume it more willingly.
