Chia Seeds
-
Glad to know that it's tasteless, will buy a packet to try on my next visit to NTUC.

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.
New to the website pls hunt around for discount code. Existing members will be happy to share. I just paiseh to post mine. The price really ridiculous cheap compare to shops. -
Any particular brand to look out for the chia seeds?

Is it the same brand as stores? Have you tried both online and store products? Do you find them similar quality?I bought from iherb.com, cheaper. taking it for fun.

i am no connoisseur. only got local sample once and tried one brand from iherb - brand is nutiva. not sure how they stack up against each other. but price is more attractive and shipping not ex.

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. -
I bought mine at NTUC. GNC also sells chia seeds.

I buy Navita brand for Chia Seeds from iherb. It’s a big packet. For those who just want to try out first, I suggest you buy small portion from local shops first and if you like then get a bag from iherb.
If you want to make Chia Gel, the formula is 1/3 cup to 2 cups filtered/distilled water. I usually make half of that portion. 1/6 cup to 1 cup water. Use a glass bottle and you add seed to water, not water to seed. Use a chopstick and stir a bit to help the mixing. After an hour, the seeds will expand and become like cooked sago. You can keep this gel for up to 7 days. You can mix it with your drink or eat it neat.
Most of the time, I just use Chia seed as a sprinkle to my cooked dishes or salads. -
I bought my Chia seeds, at last! :rahrah:
Got it from Four Seasons Organic Market at Great World City.
1 Kg (big plastic jar) at $47.80, the brand is The Chia Co. Australia.
Earlier on I saw the same brand of Chia Seeds at Rochester Market, 500 gm packet at $34.60 :yikes: -
