Increase the nutritional value of any meal with a sprinkle of chia seed, a superfood reversed by ancient Aztec warriors and modern-day athletes. Chia seed is mineral rich and a good source of dietary fiber and omega 3 fatty acids.

Thousands of years ago, chia seed was a staple in the diets of ancient Mayans and Aztecs. The word chia is derived from the Mayan language, meaning "strength," and Aztec warriors relied on chia seed to boost energy and increase stamina. Today this tiny seed is a favorite of athletes, especially distance runners, who tout it as an endurance enhancing superfood. The mild, nutty flavor goes well with both sweet and savory dishes. Use chia seed in puddings and smoothies, sprinkle on top of porridge and salads, and add to baked goods in place of flaxseed meal or poppy seeds.

Keeps best refrigerated or frozen.
