Thoughts? Pros and Cons? Taste? Any comparisons to Quinoa or Flax Seed?

I just order some to try it out but would like more first had opinions on it.

    Filling. I don't think it really tastes like much. I eat it in my overnight oatmeal.

    They're fun to drink it water. Like mini slime balls. That may not be fun for you, but I certainly enjoy it. I've also been known to put them in my protein shakes and oatmeal. If you let them sit they'll thicken things, but if you eat/drink things right away they're sort of like poppy seeds.

    How much do you digest? I was reading about them in Muscle and Fitness mag this week, and it sounds like they are not the easiest thing to digest. I wonder if they are good milled and added into flour…

    Not at all like quinoa, a wee bit like flaxseed.

    I add a spoonful to a mashed banana and whisked egg white, then microwave to form a breakfast pancake.

    I take them all the time and they are easy to digest. add to salads,yogurt,oatmeal. You can pretty much top anything make it like a sensa packet by putting it on your food. It has absolutely no taste and packs major health benefits you can even put in water and drink real fast :P

    I'm excited to try to refrigerator oatmeal. Thanks

    I'm also pumped to know that I can add them to shakes, smoothies, and just water. What is the pricing like. I bought a pack online because i had a gift card but what is the pricing like in stores?
