    chia seeds are an amazing superfood. I sprinkle them on just about anything salads, yogurt. They dont have a taste.

    I have been sprinkling them on greek yogurt and salads. But I have read where you can use them as an egg substitute.

    I just recently discovered chia seeds, I love them in tea. I just add a tablespoon after I steep the tea and wait a minute or two. squishy yummy good!!

    i think you can use them like flax seeds, as replacement for oil or butter in cooking, a ratio of 3:1.

    i've used them in homemade larabars and hide them in other things. they make me sortof mad because they stick in my molars.

    I can relate to the seeds getting stuck!! That's why I use the milled (ground) version instead. runningfood.com has it milled. I find that much easier to use.
