It's a special strain of chia. I got sent a couple of bags of salba seeds to review.

For the beverage, an easy way to do it is to take a couple of sips out of an ordinary bottle of water (.5L) and add approximately 2 tablespoons of the chia seeds and shake it up good. Wait 10-15 minutes, shaking periodically, and then it is ready to drink. Doing it this way will have the seeds thoroughly mixed throughout the water.

I checked at whole foods and had no luck finding Chia Seeds. I can't speak for all of the whole foods, but since I'm in Berkeley and were pretty much seed eating people I would imagine if they carried them they would have them here. I have yet to check trader joes. <BR/><BR/>Miz - is the shipping expensive from hidalgo?

This makes an excellent addition to smoothies. Gives the smoothies that smooth, thick texture that usually requires something like ice cream (not admitting, just saying). You can't taste them AT ALL in the smoothie. <BR/>Other than that, I also eat them straight out of the bag. Check your teeth before you leave the house. Again, just saying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-672931493634675702008-03-24T23:34:00.000-04:002008-03-24T23:34:00.000-04:00Wow, very cool!!
