Salvia
hispanica, commonly known as chia, is a species of flowering plant in
the mint family, Lamiaceae, native to central and southern Mexico and
Guatemala. The sixteenth-century Codex Mendoza provides evidence that it
was cultivated by the Aztec in pre-Columbian times and economic
historians say it may have been as important as maize as a food crop.
Aztec culture (/ˈæztɛk/[1]) was a Mesoamerican
culture that flourished in Central Mexico in the post-classic period
from 1300-1521, during the time in which a triple alliance of the
Mexica, Texcoca and Tepaneca tribes established the Aztec empire. The Aztec people were certain ethnic groups of central Mexico, particularly those groups who spoke the Nahuatl language and who dominated large parts of Mesoamerica from the 14th to 16th centuries.
“chia” is the ancient Mayan word for “strength.”
Sometimes I add a teaspoon of Chia Seeds to my white coffee in the morning.
