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.
Fibre, omega-3 and minerals in a seed that goes straight into yoghurt, which is how it ended up in the weight and superfood category. When protein matters more to you than fibre, Hemp Protein runs at 48 percent.
