I can soak a teaspoon or so of Chia seeds in a cup of hot tea and sip it throughout the afternoon, and it helps to keep me from feeling hungry thanks to the gelling action of Chia's fiber. Thanks to Chia seeds I can get sufficientfiber more easily through food, rather than taking bulky pills. I was also thrilled to read that the seeds are high in iron, calcium, and omega-3, all things that I really need. I follow the advice I found online somewhere and start my day by chewing a small amount of seeds, *then* drinking down a cup of water. The few moments' head-start before the seeds encounter the water allow them to absorb some of the excess acid that bothers my stomach.

I highly recommend doing a quick web search; there are plenty of suggestions out there for using Chia seeds in a variety of ways. They can help you to eat less without causing nasty drug side effects or negatively impacting your nutrition intake.

The 1 lb size offered here is a nice introductory amount to experiment with, and it's sealed well in heavy-duty packaging.

Any Mexican over 40 years old probably remembers drinking "agua de chía" (chia water) at some time or another during their childhood. I was able to make chia water again, thanks to these seeds. At that time, we did not know about all the health benefits of these little seeds, we only knew they made a simple "agua de limón" (lemonade) taste even better! The instructions indicate to mix the seeds with water, but you will be surprised if you add them to a lemonade, and let it sit for a while in the fridge before drinking it. I assume the seeds will also enhance the flavor of any fruit juice if mixed with them. Of course when I was a kid these seeds cost almost nothing. Still, I think they are worth every cent. So glad they are still around. People who like them should try "amaranto" too!

I am the biggest fan of Chia Seeds now! I had no idea that they were a protein. I bought these to sprinkle on my yogurt for breakfast and salads at lunch. I feel full for hours! I don't eat much animal protein and eating Chia seeds had made me feel much more healthy and strong.

Seller of this item was a joy to purchase from and I would recommend them for your Chia and health food needs.
