Introduction
- Chia seed is obtained most commonly from Salvia
hispanica of the Lamiaceae family. - Other plants referred to as "chia" include
"golden chia" (Salvia columbariae) and the
flowering herbaceous perennial Salvia
polystachya, which is rarely cultivated and the
seeds are not used. - The seeds of Salvia columbariae are used
medicinally and for food.

- The sixteenth-century Codex Mendoza provides
evidence that it was cultivated by the Aztec in
pre-Columbian times and economic historians say
it may have been as important as maize as a food
crop. - It was given as an annual tribute by the people
to the rulers in 21 of the 38 Aztec provincial
states. - Chia seeds served as a staple food of the
Nahuatl (Aztec) cultures of Central Mexico. - Jesuit chroniclers placed chia as the third most
important crop in the Aztec culture, behind only
corn, beans, and ahead of amaranth. - Offerings to the Aztec priesthood were often paid
in chia seed.
