There are several species of Chia, and several more plants that are called Chia. Some of these plants are grown as ornamentals and some unscrupulous and/or ignorant sellers of seed will offer these online as if they are the species you buy as food. I believe the latter is native to Sonora MX. Growing grains for consumption takes a lot of space. If you have it then I wish you lots of success!
