In pre-Colombian times chia was one of the four basic foods of Central American civilizations along with corn and beans. Tenochtitlan, the Capital of the Aztec Empire, received between 5,000 and 15,000 tons of chia as an annual tribute from conquered nations. Chia seed was not just a food but was also used for medical purposes and as an offering to the Aztec gods. The use of chia in pagan religious ceremonies caused the Spanish conquistadors to try and eliminate it and replace it by species brought from the old world. The conquistadors came close to being successful in their crusade against New World practices such as growing chia and practicing various customs, as many disappeared. Corn and beans were an exception. They survived the conquistador's efforts and became two of the world's most important crops. However, because of its religious use and maybe because chia was unable to adapt to production under European climatic conditions, it was pushed into obscurity for five hundred years. It is finally reemerging as the superfood it truly is!
