Dating right back to Aztec and Mayan times, the name 'chia' comes from the word chian, meaning "oily" in the Aztec language of Nahuatl and 'strength' in the Mayan language. In fact, warriors would consume them when preparing for battle due to their high protein content and energy-giving qualities. Chia seeds are a plant-based protein rich in fibre and Omega-3 fatty acids, the latter of which is considered to boost mental function. They are also packed with calcium, iron and magnesium.
