Chia seeds originate from the ancient Aztec and Maya civilizations of Central America, where they were prized for their stamina‑boosting properties and used in beverages and porridges. Today they are embraced worldwide for their nutritional benefits and neutral flavor, making them a versatile modern superfood.

Common errors include adding chia to cold liquid (which slows gel formation), not allowing enough chilling time for the pudding to set, and over‑sweetening with stevia, which can mask the subtle flavors of coffee and spices.
