For centuries, chia seeds powered ancient Mayan and Aztec civilizations—in fact, “chia” is the Mayan word for “strength.” Today, these mighty seeds continue to be a vital nutrition source. They’re a complete protein that nourishes the body with Omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, essential minerals, and fiber. Sprinkle them on yogurt, oatmeal, and steamed veggies or mix them with nut milk, cinnamon, and berries for chia pudding.
