Chia seeds come from a plant in the mint family. They can be white or black and contain calcium, manganese, and phosphorus, and is a great source of healthy omega-3 fats. they help stabilize your blood sugar, have a lot of fiber, and have been shown to improve blood pressure in some people. I will warn you that they will also make you poop. :) When soaked in liquid they "gel" and create a texture like tapioca.
In this recipe I used black chia seeds because it is what I had... I would recommend the white for a better appearance but the taste will be the same.
