Please allow me to bring the wisdom of the ancients to your modern lifestyle and introduce you to the amazing super-food, chia seed!
As far back as 3500 BC, the indigenous people of the Americas - the Aztecs, Incas, and Mayans - cultivated this ancient grain. A food crop as important to their culture as maize, chia seeds were even used as form of currency, valued more than gold. Legends speak of Aztec warriors surviving 24 hours on one tablespoon of chia seeds and some water. The ancients knew what we are rediscovering:
Chia seeds are power-packs of vital nutrients essential to optimum health and well-being.
My name is Tia Severino and I founded Tia’s Chia, LLC. Tia’s Chia was born after my non-gluten free friends urged me to bake for the public. I began creating recipes for gluten and dairy free baked goods when my son was diagnosed with Autism and we decided to try the gluten free/casein free diet. Finding products that meets all those requirements is difficult, and almost none of them taste good. The ones that are halfway good seem to consist almost entirely of starch, not much protein or fiber. I was determined to create foods that were delicious and nutritious. To my surprise the key ingredient to my success came from a tiny little seed packed with protein, fiber and more omega-3 than any other source in nature. The chia seed, I soon discovered, also helped me heal my own digestive problems - allowing me to shed 35 pounds!
