The Chia Seed is an amazing food. For centuries many have used the seeds for a host of different reasons. Native Americans would take a pouch of seeds and a gourd of water on their trips. The seeds were their food source and taken with the water they would hydrate their bodies for endurance. When you hydrate the seeds in water the seeds shell opens up and absorbs up to nine times its volume in water. This then forms a gel which is called Chia Seed Gel. The gel helps keep your body hydrated. The gel is also 90% soluble fiber which is beneficial for your digestive track. People use the seeds when they are involved in sports or physical activities for endurance.
