Anybody ever try Chia Seeds?

So I bought a pound of Chia seeds from my very favorite hippy website- RawFoodWorld.com, and have been experimenting....They say Chia Seeds are incredibly nutritious and basically magical, and not just for growing "hair" on those clay animal pots. Chia seeds are a soluable fiber and when hydrated can hold up to 12X their weight in water, which turns the seeds into a gel-like substance, that's the way to eat them from what I've read. I also read that they aid in weight loss so you know I had to get my hands on some. What I do is blend 2Tbs in the blender, turning them into a powder so they can be digested even better, then I blended a little coconut, apple and strawberry and about 1 cup water, then added the seed powder and blended a lil more. Not bad, you dont taste any chia gel, just the things you add. You can simply put 2Tbs. of seed in any liquid (applejuice would be yummo) and in 10 minutes the gel's there and it keeps up to 3 wks in the fridge. I suggest reading up on them online, way too much for me to get into here. But here's a good chunk I copied and pasted for you if your too busy to surf the web:
The gel that is formed in the stomach creates a physical barrier between carbohydrates and the digestive enzymes that break them down, thus slowing the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar.
In addition to the obvious benefits for diabetics, this slowing in the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar offers the ability for creating endurance. Carbohydrates are the fuel for energy in our bodies. Prolonging their conversion into sugar stabilizes metabolic changes, diminishing the surges of highs and lows creating a longer duration in their fueling effects.

WOW!! check em and eat em and keep motivated MFP pals!
