Chia seed originated in South America and was a staple in the diets of ancient Mayans and Aztecs. Today, chia is grown by passionate farmers dedicated to this miraculous seed, using sustainable farming methods to produce clean and nutritious chia of the highest quality. The tiny seeds of the chia plant can be eaten right out of the bag, sprinkled on hot cereal, and used in baking, for a nutritional boost comparable only to flaxseed in omega 3 and dietary fiber content.
