I put them on my Gluten Free Rice Chex w/Coconut milk in the morning. Add them to my salad for lunch, and snack on chia pudding (2 TBS chia to 1/2 cup coconut milk and sweetener of choice). Good stuff, and a real energy booster.

You eat this healthy and smoke cigars? Go figure

Chris....you had mr roaring over here, funny chit bros!!

David, where do you find these little natural wonders ( you buyin up all da Chia pets round the holidays and hoardin em??)

Not by choice. I'm allergic to every dang blasted thing under the sun. Gluten, soy, dairy, tree nuts, peanuts, chick peas, shellfish, corn and caffeine. I also have hyper-insulinism, which means no cane sugar, corn sugar, honey, agave nectar, etc. About the only allergan that doesn't bother me is eggs.

I'm always trying to find new things to eat, that don't trigger an allergy.

Actually Paul, chia seeds are becoming very popular. Used to be you could only get them online, or a health food store, but now Trader Joes and even COSTCOs sell them.

FYI, COSTCOs sells them for around $5 a pound. About half what others charge.

We will have to see if our costco has them... costco in ny is crappy compared to the sf bay area when it comes to organic and health foods.

I also bake with flax meal added and almond flour and reduce the called for flour.

Tom,

In order to get the full nutritional value out of flax seeds, they need to be ground. Whole flax seeds will go right through you. Some nutritionists have referred to chia as "flax seeds on steroids". Plus they're fully digestible, so there's no need to grind them.

I'm 55 years old, and today I had to dig 10" x 32" deep footings for a carport I'm putting up next week. The ground was pig iron (about has hard as concrete). A 6' sharpened breaker bar, slammed into the ground with all my weight behind it, would penetrate and inch or less (and even made sparks). Slam the steel bar into the hole with everything I have a dozen times, then clean out less then an inch of dirt. Repeat 40 times per hole. After the first hole, I was spent. Sat down, drank some water, and ate a few spoonfuls of chia pudding. 5 minutes and I was ready for the next hole. I got them all dug, and I really don't think I would have without the chia. I had a little trouble getting out of the truck and walking into the house, when I got home, though, lol. YMMV.
