CHIA SEEDS!!! ANY ONE TRY IT? PLEASE SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES...

it is fishy only when i grind it up, just letting it soak in water its great and made a egg nog and goat milk pudding

I have not ground it up, but I have eaten it whole and there's no fishy taste...perhaps it's old?

I am resurrecting this thread because I have been wondering about chia seeds. Thank Luisport for the info!




and Merry Christmas to you!


haha

You can grow hair again. Except it's green and leafy.

Eating some right now.

Do you eat them just straight out of the bag? I don't think I could do the ones that are soaked in water...guess it's a texture thing.

Is there a difference between the white and the regular?

There are some people who do that, I don't though. You can see some of my posts, I've made them into crackers...or you could put them into baked goods. The ones that are soaked in water are similar to a tapioca or rice pudding, if you don't want to eat it that way you can incorporate that gel into yogurt, cottage cheese, oatmeal, or baking as well.

they were in the list of ingredients in my rye bread.

Thanks!

Is he harvesting chia??? yellow flowers?/ the other video shows bluish flowers??

I was already wondering why I lost my appetite the last week. I've been taking the seeds since then!!

Arent these called saya beans? Haha

Yes, I put them in my cereal or on top of fruit. They are crunchy as long as you don't soak them for too long.

wonder if they are good for feminine hormonal balance..estrogen too low ,no protection from natural flora... hum...

I will give it a try and report back.

Interesting.

I'm also doing paleo low-carb diet to fight diabete, this could fit into my lifestyle easily.

Chia seeds are great.

And I have the best primary care doctor in my state, she makes them available in bulk to her patients who ask (no hard sell, either).

This sounds really good...

4 tbsp chia seeds
1/2 cup shelled hemp seeds
1 cup water
1 tsp vanilla
4 pitted dates
Dash of salt

I'm going to fix that for breakfast, thanks OP!

Didn't really know too much about chia seeds until I watched an interesting food doc called "Hungry for Change" on Netflix. I'll be getting some soon.

i love them! i bake them into bread or add them to my hot cereal :) yum :)

and also they are great for if you have a patch in your yard that you want to cover up for the summer really fast while you decide what will go there some other time. chia grows FAST and it really quite pretty. i always sow it in a place i want to shade out weeds too. very good cover crop.

Are you sure it was Salvia Hispanica (chia), maybe it was Salvia Divinorum.

i prefer sunflower seeds

I make a really yummy dip by putting them in plain (or whatever flavor you like) yogurt and letting it sit overnight. My kids dip apple slices in it (me too!) and other fruits as well.

Expect some appetite reduction. Even if you soak them, they still get bigger in your stomach, filling you up in a way that lasts. :)

They are feeling, I feel great since I normally don’t eat breakfast even though I should. I add it to a juice and hit the road. Adding it to juice makes a jelly like shield around the seed and I think that’s what make me feel "Fuller". I also eat Hemp seeds.

Thank's a lot for the PIN!!!

Actualy, starting to skip breakfast (and then lunch, also) was the first step that really helped me in my health recovery (from diabete).

Check out intermitent fasting. POWERFULL detox stuff :)

Maybe I should just listen to my body and eat when I’m hungry.
I always felt I was force feeding myself for breakfast but I feel good with liquid and the seed.
Thanks for the info ill check it out.
