Chia seeds have been a staple in the diets of Mesoamerican cultures for centuries. The ancient Aztecs and Mayans prized chia seeds for their nutritional value and their ability to provide sustained energy. Chia seeds are a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, and they are also a good source of antioxidants. In recent years, chia seeds have become increasingly popular as a health food, and they are now used in a variety of recipes, including breakfast bowls, smoothies, and baked goods.
