Chia seeds are the edible seeds.  They are oval and gray with black and white spots.

They can be used as a crispy topping in soups, salads, and desserts, and can add variety to bread and biscuits. Chia seeds are a tried and tested hit in smoothies, muesli, and ice cream. You can also sprout chia seeds and use the sprouts in salads, or grind them into a nutritious flour and use them for baking.

Chia seeds are an excellent source of fiber, which can improve heart health, reduce cholesterol levels and promote intestinal health.
