Thousands of years ago, chia seed was a staple in the diets of ancient Mayans and Aztecs. The word chia is derived from the Mayan word meaning 'strength'. Aztec warriors relied on chia seed to boost energy and increase stamina. Today this tiny seed is a favorite of athletes, especially distance runners, who tout it as an endurance enhancing superfood. Use chia seed in smoothies and puddings, sprinkle on top of oatmeal and salads, and add to baked goods for a nutritional boost.
