Chia Seeds

Have any of you ever tried them? If so, what's the good and the bad. I've been reading that they are supposed to be a super food, blah blah, blah, but thought I would ask here to get honest opinions about them. :)

Here's one of the articles I read... Chia: Ancient Super-Seed Secret | The Dr. Oz Show

a friend of mine uses these. She said that they are great for thickening things up like gravies.. I found sesame sticks that was made with Chia, Seseame Seeds and Whole Wheat Flour...could not taste the difference..

I don't think I would eat a ton of these, but they might be a good supplement to add to our various foods. Here's some more that I read...
Chia seeds are a concentrated food containing healthy omega-3 fatty acids, carbohydrates, protein, fiber, antioxidants, and calcium.

Chia seeds are an unprocessed, whole-grain food that can be absorbed by the body as seeds (unlike flaxseeds). One ounce (about 2 tablespoons) contains 139 calories, 4 grams of protein, 9 grams fat, 12 grams carbohydrates and 11 grams of fiber, plus vitamins and minerals.

People add them to all kinds of foods and even make a pudding of sorts out of them. May have to give them a try in a month or two.

How funny, a women I work with puts them in her yougart.. I never heard of them before until yesterday.. Still doing more reasearch it looks like they are taking the place of flax seeds...

I have them. I mix them into my oatmeal. They don't really taste like much but add a little texture. It's funny that they are the same seeds that were on thoes Chia Pets from back in day. Who knew? LOL

my dad mixes em with his morning shake, he swears by em

I was having them before my sleeve in my breakfast, even on toast! I like texture in food. I am 5 weeks post op and havent had them again yet as I am afraid they might swell a bit in my tummy?
Oh and I buy them at the stockfeeds (they use them on horses) for around half the price as health food store lol

Chia seed lemonade. It's awesome!
