Chia Seeds

Not just for growing fur like grass out of ceramic animal statues anymore, the Chia Seed, an ancient Superfood nearly lost to infomercial obscurity, is having a rebirth of stature as one of today's miracle ingesticants.

Yes, Ingesticants™

Two of the world's all time leading Superfood societies, the Aztecs and the Mayans, prized Chia Seeds as a top source of nutritional sustenance, having eaten them as consistently as any other of their top crops such as Maze and Cacao. Powerhouse societies are fueled by powerhouse foods, and the Chia Seed provides no exception.

It totes:

• 18 amino acids - making it a complete protein
• 19 - 23% protein content by weight (vegans rejoice)
• one of the richest sources of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids
• 11 grams of dietary fiber per ounce
• a host of minerals including calcium, potassium, & zinc
• a bad-ass tiger striped look
  

Chia seed has been used as a medicine for thousands of years, being acclaimed in China as having rarely paralleled kidney rejuvenation properties, libido enhancing effects, and anti-aging qualities. Central American cultures have used Chia Seeds as a similar form of medicine, and it's inclusion in their daily diet (amongst other things yet to be discussed) allowed them to flourish as one of the most sexually prolific cultures of ancient times.

Sounds good to me.

Ingesting Chia is simply a joy. It can be eaten whole if you enjoy intense mastication (read that correctly folks), ground into a powder and added into recipe's, or can be added to your favorite smoothie.
