Also, these seeds are hydrophilic, which are absorbing up to 12 times their weight in liquid when soaked. It develops a mucilaginous coating that gives chia-based foods and beverages a distinctive gel texture. The chia seeds are cultivated on a small scale in central Mexico and Guatemala. Moreover, dried chia seeds contain 6% water, 42% carbohydrates, 16% protein, and 31% fat. The chia seed market is benefiting from a confluence of factors, including increased health consciousness, the rise of gluten-free diets, their versatility in food applications, and their popularity as a superfood. These trends are expected to continue driving the market's growth in the foreseeable future.
