Chia Seeds (Salvia hispanica) Black

Black Chia Seeds (Salvia hispanica): An Ancient Aztec/Mayan Staple

Chia seeds are derived from Salvia hispanica L., a plant native to South and Central America. These seeds, though small in size, are packed with nutrients, and they served as an ancient superfood among Mayan and Aztec civilisations. Historical accounts suggest that the Mayans and Aztecs also used chia seeds to make natural cosmetics and holistic preparations. Today, humans are still reaping the rewards of these highly nutritious and delicious seeds. Chia seeds are loaded with antioxidants like chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, and myricetin, as well as vitamins and minerals, including iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc. They're also a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, fibre, and plant-based protein.
