CHIA SEED– Salvia hispanica... The fuel for the Aztec warriors is indeed the perfect food for stamina, strength, and nutrition.
Origins:
Chia is native to the geographical area of the Aztec Empire, previously the Olmec and later Toltec civilizations. This area is located in Southern Mexico, where the climate and soil quality is optimal for growing high quality Chia, indeed much of the wilderness here is rife with wild Chia strains.
Chia was the fuel for Aztec warriors during their battles and also allowed the long distant runner/messengers to run many hours without nourishment. Indeed, Chia is the perfect food designed by nature for increased stamina, strength and nutrition. Chia is a balance of Essential fatty acids, such plant based Omega-3, complete protein in terms of amino acid profile, flavonoid antioxidants, outstanding polysaccharide fiber and a healthy carbohydrate profile. All of these nutritional benefits in a great tasting and long shelf life seed.
