      How to make kids consume chia seeds willingly?


      they are tasteless. so you can mix with cereal or yogurt. and they are very very fine, even finer than sesame seeds.

      some kids may not like the colour cuz it's usually in dark grey or black. my kid will always say it's dirty. recently, I bought white chia from an organic shop. so when mixed with cereal, the kid totally cannot see they are there.

      Please share the name of the organic shop. Thanks.

            Hi


            My family love to eat chia seeds. We usually spread a tablespoon on cereals, scramble eggs, sandwiches for breakfast. I got it from NTUC at Ang Mo Kio hub. There are white and black chia seeds. They are the same nutritionally it is up to you whether you like to see white or black on your food.

              I have been taking chia seeds too. Sometimes I give a bit to my son too.


              For me I would prefer the white seeds. I thought the any dirt particles can be seen easily in white seeds rather than black ones.

                Hi, all...


                I have a question... Chia seeds are just too fine and hard for digestion if we don't chew the seeds well... won't they get :imconstipated: out intact? I eat lots of sesame, this happens all the time when I didn't chew them well...

                In this case, isn't the ground chia a better option?

                    not sure if it's hard to digest. but unlike sesame seeds, when chia is in contact with fluid, it will become gel-like.

                      Hi,

                      What's the colour of the seed?
                      I need to make sure it's white if not my children will not eat.

                        Thanks, Jworld... what about the core part that don't turn into gel? :scratchhead: is it there that all the nutrients store?
