Jennifer:

I introduced chia seeds to my elder boy this morning. We left a few on a dish and added room temperature water. After some time, the black portion is seen not to get bigger in size, but there is a transparent gel covering that is formed.


This gel like covering is smooth and a little slippery.

how is it like in this state? I always try to down them before they turn all jelly and sticky like lol

i.love.to.learn:

can i check if the one sold at ntuc finest is good enough? does having 'better' chia seeds have more benefits?

not really. but generally stuff from australia is pretty good.

chia seeds in singapore are expensive though, I don't buy them locally. Interesting comparison of local to online prices http://www.cheapsupplements.com.sg/chia-seeds-singapore/.
