In the Mayan language “Chia” means strength. For many centuries, these small seeds were used by the Indians of the American Southwest and Mexico as a staple food. In the ancient Aztecs, Chia seeds, also known as “the running food”, were used as a source of increased energy. Use: Add them to salads, cereals, yogurt, soups, bread, sweets, juices, smoothies, etc. Adding the seeds to water creates a gel that can be used as a thickening agent in baking and as an oil alternative in baking.
