Chia—God’s Superfood with Nick Watson – Episode 058

Chia is the subject on this week’s Off the Grid Radio, as Bill and Brian talk with Nick Watson from the Chia Seed Growers and a member of the Rural Production Society co-op of growers in the volcanic regions of Mexico.

Nick discusses the ethno-botanical origins of chia (where the botanical source actually originated from), and how RPS seed grown at an altitude of 8,000 feet along the slopes of the volcanoes in Mexico is so much more potent and bioavailable than the chia you get from the lowlands of Argentina… where much of the available chia seed is grown today.
