Chia Seeds are an ancient grain that called Salvia Hispanica which grows in the deserts of Mexico. They were used by the Aztecs and Mayans as energy and endurance boosters. In fact, the word "Chia" means strength. They are considered a concentrated food meaning that these tiny seeds pack a serious punch when it comes to healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, carbohydrates (the healthy kind) protein, fiber, antioxidants and calcium.
This is a version of the Indian dessert Kheer without the processed white rice that is normally used.
