If my article on Chia Seeds that I wrote here in 2007 didn’t convince you to eat them regularly, probably nothing will. Of the more than 600 articles that I’ve written here, that article is probably the one that received the most attention. Certainly it has received the most comments -- 1...

Have placed several orders with chiaseedsdirect.com and have never been disappointed. The chia seeds are included in a blended mix for bite-size round ice cube frozen pops (no stick). Just one way to consume various nutritional supplements.

3 cups water

3 tablespoons virgin coconut oil

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

2 tablespoons chia seeds

2 tablespoons peanuts

2 dried prunes

1 ounce square Bakers unsweetened chocolate

Blend at maximum speed for around 99 seconds.

6 ounces Kroger vanilla CARBmaster dairy blend (yogurt)

1 package Kroger sugar-free vanilla pudding

Blend at medium speed for around 66 seconds.

Pour into pointed-tip squeeze bottle and fill 4 silicone-bottom push-out type round ice cube trays.

I love chia seeds and have been using them in their different forms and colors in my recipes for years. I have shared these recipes here: http://www.squidoo.com/living-low-carb-with-chia-seeds.

They make a great sub for flours as well as a thickener for puddings, etc. They are very filling and low carb. Thanks for introducing me to them years ago, David!

David,

I thought in one of your articles about chia, you had some reservations and had backed off consuming so much of it. Am I wrong David ? I read a lot of health articles and might have been reading something somewhere else.

Thanks,

Mark

I remember that too Mark. Tho I had already purchased chia seeds from nutsonline.com, I changed my mind after reading that article.

It must contain a natural insecticide if insects wont bother it. I would consider that suspect, for consumming any large amount, unless I had parasites I wanted to kill off or something.

Thank you for letting us know of the chia seeds. They are indeed superfoods judging from all the nutrients they contain. I am going to routinely add them to my salad, orange juice and yogurt. We are really lucky to have such a nutritious addition to our diet.
