• Chia seeds have been used as a dietary staple for thousands of years by the Mayans and Aztecs of Central and South America. These tiny, black and white seeds are loaded with nutrients and have a wide range of health benefits.Chia seeds are a great source of fiber, protein, and healthy fats, especially omega-3 fatty acids. They are also rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, including calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Due to their high nutritional value, chia seeds have been dubbed a “superfood”.

• In recent years, chia seeds have gained popularity in Western countries as a health food. They can be added to smoothies, yogurt, oatmeal, and baked goods. When mixed with liquid, chia seeds form a gel-like substance that can be used as a vegan egg substitute in recipes. Chia seeds also have a mild, nutty flavour that makes them a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes.

   

• Beyond their nutritional benefits, chia seeds have a fascinating history. The word “chia” comes from the ancient Mayan word for “strength”. In fact, chia seeds were so highly valued by the Aztecs and Mayans that they were used as currency. Chia seeds were also an important food for Aztec warriors and messengers, who would carry a small pouch of chia seeds with them to sustain their energy during long journeys.
