Consumers are discovering Chia and are eating it for the tremendous health benefits. Chia was a staple for Incan, Mayan, and Aztec cultures. “Chia” is even the Mayan word for “strength”, and Chia seeds used to be referred to as “Indian Running Food” because they are so energizing. Apache and Aztec warriors sustained themselves by bringing the seeds along while on conquests, Aztecs used Chia as a legal tender, Indians of the southwest United States depended upon them during long trading expeditions, and they were also used by the Indians and missionaries as a poultice for gunshot wounds and other injuries.
Chia is the richest plant-based source of Omega-3, protein, fiber and antioxidants, and an excellent source of minerals. Chia is “the world’s perfect superfood” because it is high in nutrition and provides a whole day of energy. Benefits of Chia Seeds
