Chia!

Chia seeds are beneficial because they provide sustainable energy. From an article I found, it says that “Chia was valued by the Aztec cultures because of the strength, stamina, and endurance that it provided to their people. A tablespoon of chia was said to sustain Aztec warriors for an entire day! The seeds were also used as medicine and prescribed for wounds, joint pain, sore throats, and sore eyes.” It says that “Chia is an increasingly popular food ingredient among consumers and manufacturers. The nutrient-rich seeds are good sources of α-linolenic acid, fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, prompting claims that chia is ‘superfood’”.
