Little did they know they developed a superfood for their grateful descendants.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAztecs and Mayans ate these seeds for sustained energy. The Mayan word “chia” means “strength.” They are one of the healthiest foods on the planet; rich in phytonutrients, antioxidants, essential amino acids and soluble fiber. This macronutrient power is packed into a microsized seed that can absorb 10-12 times its weight in water - something its many fans say makes them feel fuller and eat less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlmost all of the carbohydrates in Chia Seeds are healthy soluble fiber which feeds friendly bacteria in our intestines, enabling gut flora to perform its critical role in proper digestion. Fiber slows digestion which, experts agree, improves the process. We all know that most of us don’t get nearly the recommended amount of dietary fiber.
