Chia seeds are a small, nutrient-packed seed that were historically used by the Aztecs and Mayans. They are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals. Chia seeds can be eaten raw, added to yogurt, oatmeal, smoothies, baked goods, and more. They are a great source of sustainable energy, as they are easily digested and quickly absorbed into the bloodstream.
