Spanish sage enthusiasts say that it was known and appreciated since ancient times. The Aztecs and Indians were to enjoy it, deriving physical and mental fitness from small chia seeds. How is it possible that several thousand years later, in the age of healthy eating and eco products, we are only just discovering the power of these ancient plants? There are two - not mutually exclusive - theories about the origin and meaning of the word chia. One of them says that in the language of the ancient Maya it symbolized strength. The second one claims that the name was derived from the word chian, meaning oily in Nahualth. Probably already in such distant times our ancestors were aware that Spanish sage is an excellent raw material for the production of high-quality oil.
Chia seeds can be added whole or ground to muesli, yoghurt, oatmeal, salads and baked goods.
