Salvia columbariae is an annual plant that is commonly called chia, chia sage, golden chia, or desert chia, because its seeds are used in the same way as those of Salvia hispanica (chia). It grows in California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Sonora, and Baja California,[2] and was an important food for Native Americans. Some native names include pashiiy from Tongva and it'epeš from Ventureño.
