#GoVeganWithUs #GVWU
Hey #Lovers❤️🔥, welcome back to another juicy plant-based treasure hunt!
Today we’re unlocking the magic of one of the most powerful seeds on the planet…
CHIA SEEDS!
⚡🌾🥄💪🏾✨
A Legendary Superfood: The History of Chia Seeds
Let’s go waaaay back…
📜🏺✨
Chia seeds were a staple food of Aztec, Mayan, and Inca civilizations as early as 3500 BCE!
These ancient warriors ate chia before battle, believing it gave them stamina, strength, and spiritual power.
They even used chia as currency, yep, chia was worth that much!
💰⚔️⛏️
Fun Fact: The word “chia” comes from the Mayan language, and it literally means “strength”!
No wonder warriors carried it into battle!
⚔️🔥✨
Spanish colonizers tried to wipe chia out because of its sacred role in indigenous ceremonies, but it survived thanks to native farmers in remote regions.
Now, chia is BACK and stronger than ever, in your smoothies, snacks, and superfood bowls!
🌍❤️🌾
Fun Fact: Chia pets (those sprouting clay toys) helped bring chia seeds back into pop culture!
Ch-ch-ch-CHIA!
