| In South America,
as far back as 3000 BC until the Spanish Invasion
in the 1500's AD, Chia Seeds (Salvia Hispanica)
had been a staple of daily nutrition and/or
commerce in Pre-Columbian societies. In Mayan
and Aztec life, the seed was so important,
it was incorporated into religious ceremonies
and tribal trading, even having the harvest
time for the seeds outlined in ancient Aztec
calendars. The health benefits of these super
seeds are truly amazing and still being discovered.
It may be the single best all around food! |

Along with
maize (corn), beans and amaranth,
Chia seeds were one of the four main
crops which sustained the ancient
societies, helping to make their diets,
as discovered by scientists, superior
even to modern day. These four crops
alone meet the Daily Dietary Requirements
as laid out by the World Health Organization
(WHO).
One could obtain a healthy and more
sustaining life by consuming Chia
Seeds. They were known in ancient
society as the "Running Food"
and is said ancient warriors would
sustain themselves on long journeys
with a single spoon full of the seeds
daily. |

| However, history
tells that when the Spanish Armies arrived
in the 16th century, Spain's Generals
realized the importance of the seeds
in the local native society and set
out to destroy the crop's fields. The
conquerors replaced them with more desirable
European foods like carrots and wheat,
and helped cripple the Ancient Society
in the process. The 'Super' seeds were
basically forgotten in time, until now...
