These mighty non-gluten seeds, packed with Omega-3, protein, rare antioxidants, and fiber, are making a strong comeback in the 21st century. There is no need to grind chia.

Enjoy them on yogurt or oatmeal or in baked goods or smoothies. Try soaking 2 Tbsp of chia seed for 5 minutes in 3-4 oz of water to produce a nutritious chia gel that can be added to hundreds of recipes.

Chia "Pudding" Recipe: In a shaker bottle, mix together 1/4 cup chia seeds, 1 1/2 cups almond milk, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 tablespoon maple syrup, honey, or equivalent Stevia. For chocolate flavor, add a teaspoon of cocoa powder. For additional protein, add a scoop of your favorite unflavored protein powder. (If using a sweetened, flavored protein powder, you may want to omit the vanilla and sweeteners.) Shake well and make sure chia seeds are completely covered by almond milk. Refrigerate overnight. The chia seeds will soak up the milk and become thick, similar to tapioca. Eat with a spoon or "slurp it up" with a straw. Delicious and nutritious!

Chia Seed (Nutiva) - Average rating 5 (3 reviews)  - Write a review Show Reviews Reviews (3) (0) (0) (0) (0)   2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. July 23, 2011 Reviewer: Adina in Pennsylvania This is an unbelievable power/energy source! I had read about the powers of chia and decided to give it a go - and now it's an absolute staple in my dry goods cabinet. I just mix 1 Tbsp with cold water and squeeze fresh lemon or lime juice into it, shake it up, and use it to power through workouts and long drives (replaced the Diet Coke!). It also makes you feel full, so I drink it before I go to a party where there might be tempting foods....And it's higher in Omega 3's than most food sources! Try it! Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No May 17, 2013 Reviewer: Gail in Washington I put this in my vitamin drink in the morning, let it sit for a few minutes, and then drink it down. I can't tell it's in the drink because I also add kefir to the water, so it's a fairly thick shake. I know it's very nutritious. I'm wondering if it could be added to pudding, after soaking, and be a tapioca pudding substitute--something I plan to try. Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No May 18, 2012 Reviewer: Evelyn in North Carolina Great purchase and will be adding it to all future orders. I'm finding this a very easy way to add more fiber and Omegas into my low carb lifestyle. I like both the crunchy texture and the softer state if you let it "soak" in a liquid for a while. I add it to my Greek yogurt and in soups as a quick and easy fiber boost to my snacks and meals. Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No
