Discover the benefits of chia seeds
Among supplements, they are particularly appreciated and recognized for their benefits. Chia seeds have indeed been called a "superfood," and they are indeed among the most interesting foods in the world from a purely nutritional point of view. It is a small grain with many properties, and was used for centuries within the Aztec empire. In recent years, there has been renewed interest in them.
A very old use
The Aztec civilization thus marked the beginning of the use of chia seeds. These were originally used in the staple diet. Once harvested, the seeds were dried and then ground, thus obtaining a powder that could be mixed with other ingredients in the preparation of Aztec dishes. With the arrival of the Spanish colonists, this empire collapsed, and chia seeds were not heard of for many years, until the end of the 20th century.
