With age, my tummy has decided it doesn't like me very much, and this product gives me a nutritious breakfast, that fills me up and is easy on my stomach.

I enjoy this best when I soak 2 Tablespoons of the seeds in a cup of water or milk overnight. It forms into a gel by the next morning. If I've soaked it in milk, I add a tablespoon or so of Nestle's Chocolate Quick, and it tastes a little like chocolate tapioca pudding. If I've mixed it with water, I add a bit of Tang the next morning, and it tastes like a fruity-flavored slush. Sometimes, I also add shelled hemp seeds and/or cocoa nibs for a little more nutrition and flavor. When I add these extras, I also run it through the blender so I won't have to "chew" my shake.

I also like that this has lots of fiber. It doesn't have much taste on it's own, so it takes on the flavor of whatever I'm mixing it with.

This product functions as a great supplement to a healthy diet. There is one catch - finding the appropriate meals to make it a part of. When added to a cereal mix with milk, it becomes slimy. When added to oatmeal, product is very noticeable. Look around for suggestions on how to consume. The product does have a taste, is noticeable, and does get stuck in your teeth when consumed. Again, no different than any other potential food additives such as flax seed, but this product is just small enough and hard enough that it is very noticeable when added to any of your foods.

I use this product in so many things - especially baked goods like breads and muffins, and in pancakes etc. It doesn't have much of a taste, but gives a great little crunch and extra nutrients.
