Why Choose Spices.pk Chia Seeds (تخم شربتی)?
What are Chia Seeds (تخم شربتی)?
Chia seeds, commonly sold as Tukhm-e-Sharbati (تخم شربتی) in Pakistan, are the edible seeds of the flowering plant Salvia hispanica, a member of the mint family. Native to central and southern Mexico and Guatemala, chia seeds were a staple food of the Aztecs and Mayans. The word chia is often linked to the meaning "strength".
Approximate nutrition per 100g of chia seeds: about 486 kcal, 42g carbohydrates (of which about 34g is dietary fibre), 30g fat (of which about 18g is the plant omega-3 ALA – alpha-linolenic acid), 16–18g protein and almost no sugar. They also contain minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese and zinc. A unique property of chia seeds is their ability to absorb many times their weight in water, forming a gel that adds texture to drinks and recipes.

An Ancient Food: The History of Chia Seeds
Chia seeds have been cultivated for thousands of years. They were an important food for the Aztec and Mayan civilisations, who used them in drinks, flour and religious offerings. Historical records such as the Codex Mendoza (16th century) show that chia was among the goods paid as tribute to Aztec rulers.
After the Spanish conquest of the Americas, chia cultivation declined for centuries as European crops replaced it. Interest in chia grew again in the late 20th century, and today it is enjoyed worldwide, with countries in South America such as Paraguay, Bolivia and Argentina, along with Mexico, among the main growers. In South Asia, chia seeds are often confused with basil seeds (Tukh Malanga / Sabja). True chia seeds (Salvia hispanica) are small, oval and have a mottled grey, black and white appearance, while basil seeds are fully black and slightly more teardrop-shaped.
