Oh chia is great i love chia. Black chia and white chia. I bought my chia seeds from hidalgofoods. I think they sell the most cheaper chia seeds. Not only that. Now they have spirulina powder and quinoa powder. Well, i must say that i am one of their fan. hahahaha. yes because i like eating functional foods.
This is great i like to know more recipes so i can try other menus

Thanks for your post. Love the Chia seeds, but they are so expensive. Can you share an inexpensive source? thanks.

I feel pretty silly. Twice I told you to visit my website and never gave you the URL: www.chiativity.org

Maybe this link will work.

Start with smoothies!! Add an ounce of chia gel to any smoothie and you won't even know it's there. You can also add the gel to soups and stews, or use it to stretch yer mayo, or cook it up with yer oatmeal! Yum!!

Personally, I love chia fresca (see my website).

Buy it at the Vitamin Shoppe.

But don't give up!!!

Great video on the chia. You can also get chia seeds from www.OpalNutrition.com...it is the Red Opal brand. 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. ENJOY!

PlasticCal, if you were across the bay, I'd recommend you check out Earthbeam. (Then again, I tend to recommend them for most everything. Great store, very friendly people. Did I mention I shopped there for 3 decades?) But I suppose Burlingame is a bit far from Berkeley. Certainly in terms of politics (except for Earthbeam).

2008-03-26T20:21:00.000-04:00

Wow, sorry for the deleted post, it was in serious need of an edit! 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.

Miz - is the shipping expensive from hidalgo? I guess what I'm trying to say is it worth me hunting around for them or is the shipping reasonable?

2008-03-26T06:02:00.000-04:00

thanks margaret!

I did mention the flavor but never was able to get my seeds to disperse in the water (it had been chilling like that for a while.)

anything else I could do to use them as a drink?

What? Chia seeds? Man, I feel totally out of the loop. They sounds great, though!

2008-03-25T15:00:00.000-04:00

I've got lots more info on chia seeds on my website.

P.S. You need to stir the seeds into water and let it sit for awhile before you try drinking it. Your video shows a layer of seeds floating on the surface. So stir it up good and then sip.

P.P.S. Did you mention that chia seeds are mild in flavor?

2008-03-25T13:41:00.000-04:00

Lurve me some chia seeds. I get them at the local health store, in bulk. If you mix them with water - in about a 1:4 ratio of seeds to water, they form a gel. 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.
Other than that, I also eat them straight out of the bag. Check your teeth before you leave the house. Again, just saying.

2008-03-24T23:34:00.000-04:00

Wow, very cool!! As a vegetarian, I'm always looking for plant ways to get my omega-3s. Do you know how it compares to purslane?? I'd heard that was the best plant source of omega 3's. I can't find that anywhere. I'll def. try the chia seeds though - if I can find them!

Not sprouting hair, but maybe sprouting sprouts! Eek! I'll be on the outlook for chia seeds, thanks.

2008-03-24T14:21:00.000-04:00

Wha? MizFit is saying something might be *gasp* better than flax? Chia sounds like a super seed (or is a grain? must be a seed since it sprouts chia pets). Might have to give it a try but fear the taste truth be told.

Yeah Miz Fit! I'd read about chia, but you're the first person I've gotten a review from. Very cool!

Interesting post, Mizfit - the Bag Lady will be on the lookout for Chia seeds on her next trip to town.
