    I measure them out and eat them with a spoon all by themselves. They chew really strangely in a good way. Delicious :)

    Can you get them at normal grocery stores like Jewel/Dominics in the US?

    I don't know if you can get them in the grocery store. But I bet a heathly type store, in California we have Henry's, Sprouts, Whole Foods. I bet GNC or any vitamin store would carry them.

    I've been adding two teaspoons to my muesli or yoghurt or muesli each morning for the last month along with LSA, psyllium husks and cinnamon and things in my guts have finally started moving :-)
