There are texts from the 16th century, indicating that the plant was cultivated by the Aztecs.
Now Chia seeds, despite its small size, is regarded as a  super seed that has spread to the Western world due to Its good qualities. Bursting with healthy nutrients. A high content of omega 3 fatty acids. A high content of fiber. A great source of protein. Chia seeds contain more nutritious than most other food products.
How do we cherish super seeds as Chia seeds? They live a dangerous life in the midst of a time where many interests are at stake. Equally strong as the chia seed is – just as vulnerable it is, inter alia, genetic engineering, pesticides etc.
