A staple of Aztec and Mayan cultures, chia seeds were revered for their health giving benefits including increased energy and stamina. There is even evidence of chia as currency. Chia was popularized by the ch-chchia “Chia Pet” in the 1980’s but didn’t catch on as a bona fide health food until a few short years ago.
