About This Item
Chia seeds are one of the most popular perennial herb plant seeds you can buy for culinary and nutritious purposes. Saliva Hispanica plants are tender perennial plants which grow in USDA Zones 9 - 11.
Chia is a member of the mint family and it has been cultivated for nearly 5,000 years. The seeds are very nutritionally dense containing high levels of easily digestible protein, omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fiber, antioxidants, calcium, iron, and many more nutrients.
It is a tender perennial that is hardy in USDA climate zones 9 to 11 and will not tolerate frost. Since it requires a fairly long season to produce seed, starting indoors and transplanting after all danger of frost has passed is required.
Germination occurs in seven to fourteen days at soil temperatures between 70F and 77F. Chia seeds can be sprouted and added to salads, ground and added to almost any recipe from energy / smoothie drinks, used as a thickening agent to replace corn starch, or used in place of bread crumbs in meatballs, meat loafs, or coating chicken.
You can even use them to replace eggs in recipes by simply dry grinding Chia seeds into a powder and using one tablespoon along with three tablespoons of water for every egg your baked recipe calls for.
