What is the history of chia seeds?
Chia seeds were domesticated in what is now Mexico by about 2,600 BC. Chia seeds were a staple food for the native people of central America and what is now the southwestern United States. The Aztecs called them the "running food." Aztec warriors could subside on chia seeds because of both their nutrition content and their hydrating qualities. Along with corn, beans, and amaranth, chia was one of the four main crops of the Aztec and Mayan people. After conquering Mexico, the Spaniards banned growing chia plants because they played a role in Aztec religious ceremonies, and their seeds were a currency used by Aztec people to pay tributes and taxes to the Aztec priests and nobility.
