Legend Says

Chia is a member of the mint plant, originating in Mexico and Guatemala, was popularized by the Aztecs and the Mayans over 5,000 years ago because it was easy to carry and stayed edible for long periods of time while they travelled. Perhaps it was the mix of high potassium content, protein, omega 3 and fiber that led them to believe that a single spoonful could fuel their entire day. Runners drank a mix of chia, honey and lemon in order to traverse long distances to communicate military messages, carry perishable goods and act as couriers, sometimes as much as 200 miles (seriously legendary, especially without modern day sneakers) in a day. Ultramarathoners do 50 miles in a day.
