A little Side note about Chia Seeds

• Chia seeds are tiny black seeds from the plant Salvia Hispanica, which is related to the mint.

• This plant grows natively in South America.

• Chia seeds were an important food for the Aztecs and Mayans back in the day.

• They prized them for their ability to provide sustainable energy… in fact, “chia” is the ancient Mayan word for “strength.”

• Despite their ancient history as a dietary staple, only recently did chia seeds become recognized as a modern day superfood.

• In the past few years, they have exploded in popularity and are now consumed by health conscious people all over the world.
