chia seed
Pudding-thickening superfood
Chia seeds are tiny edible seeds from a plant in the mint family, native to Mexico and Central America.
When soaked in liquid, they absorb many times their weight and develop a gelatinous coating.
They're commonly added to smoothies, puddings, and baked goods: I made chia seed pudding for breakfast.
Often shortened to chia: Add some chia to your oatmeal.
