Description:

  • Chia seeds, a staple in the Aztec diet of ancient Latin America have recently gained popularity among the hottest superfoods in the industry thanks to their plethora of nutritional benefits. Chia is an edible seed that comes from the desert plant Salvia hispanica, grown in Mexico and dating back to Mayan and Aztec cultures.
  • The word "Chia" means strength, and folklore has it that these cultures used tiny black and white seeds as an energy booster. That makes sense, as chia seeds are a concentrated food containing healthy omega-3 fatty acids, carbohydrates, protein, fibre, antioxidants, and calcium. From being used in religious ceremonies of the olden days, almost every health-conscious person these days knows about chia and how it can be a great dietary adjunct to supporting long-term health.
