The people of the ancient Aztec and Mayan empires revered chia seeds as vital nourishment. These non-gluten seeds are packed with Omega-3, protein, rare antioxidants and fiber. Enjoy them in yogurt, oatmeal, baked goods or smoothies. No need to grind chia. Soak 2 Tbsp of chia seed for 5-10 minutes in 6 oz of water to produce a nutritious chia gel that can be added to hundreds of recipes.
