Nearly 1000 yrs ago, chia seeds where used
by the Aztecs as a food
for energy, endurance, strength and good health. These tiny seeds are one of nature's perfect foods containing essential fatty acids (natures best source of omega 3 alpha linolenic acid), protein, soluble fiber, protective antioxidants, minerals and vitamins.
The seeds are grown in South and Central America, so Mike, you're right at the source.
