i noticed that a local seed supplier is offering salvia hispanica (chia) - spanish sage - seeds. i've never heard of it before and wonder if anyone can tell me what it's like to grow and use.

cheers!

Hi samadhi

If you haven't found any other info yet, chia seems to cover a few species of Salvia - the seeds are soaked in water until they swell, then drank as an energy-booster.
Never grown this oone, so I'd be interested in hearing from you later down the track.

Cheers
