I have been using Chia Seeds for a year. It is tasteless. I soak in water to make a Chia Gel so DH can add into his drinking water he used when doing his sports. It is excellent for hydrating the body. Sometime I just swallow a tablespoonful of the gel. I also sprinkle onto my vege, muesli, smoothies. You can use Chia seed with any food as it is tasteless and it is packed with nutrients.

Yes, eat it raw. Sprinkle it on your food. Or soak to make gel. You can add the gel to your favourite dessert. It is like sago, gives a very nice texture in the mouth. Can also add the gel to your daily drinking water. It's so versatile.

I think there are white and black type. I read they are equal in nutrition value. I think the one I have is mixed.

I bought from iherb.com, cheaper. taking it for fun. Just put in plain water and drink it down after about 10 min. There are white and black (?) Types. Apparently they are equivalent. Online price cheaper and so far shiping never failed me.

Is it the same brand as stores? Have you tried both online and store products? Do you find them similar quality?

I think it is better to soak chia seeds before consuming them.


There is a limit to taking chia seeds. Limit to 2 tablespoons per day. Those on blood thinners, planning a surgery etc, do avoid chia seeds as it has ability to thin blood.

Remember to drink heaps of water while taking them.

I just started them taking 2 months ago. I am now able to clear my bowels everyday since taking them. I used to have constipation.
