Guest guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 Yes I think they are a lot like guar although I haven't actually seen the guar gel. I should experiment and see if I too can come up with a fantastic cheese-cake type dessert. I think the soluble fiber has many of the same cholesterol lowering properties as say that of oatmeal.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 You could grow Albert's hair and trim it now and then for healthy fresh sprouts -- although I believe I read somewhere that chia sprouts have a somewhat laxative effect.

They have a huge amount of soluble fiber in them and if you soak them in water they soon form a gel so that the seeds suspended in the gel almost look like little frogs eggs.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2002 Report Share Posted June 13, 2002 I tried them on my head years ago but they washed off everytime I showered, or the dog would lick them off. :-) Funny me!

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2002 Report Share Posted June 13, 2002 Sorry I don't but your best bet might be to look up some search engines (try different ones as they each give slightly different results) In a message dated 6/13/2002 7:20:19 AM Pacific Daylight Time, lifeforce@... writes: I wonder if anyone knows a resource for chia seeds in Canada?

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Hi, There is more than one chia seed. There is one in particular the Indians used to give them stamina and strength, without tiring. Of course, this is the one you aren't allowed to have! Not sure now but seems like it was Golden Chia, or the seeds were golden in color. Baugh ******************** Had a friend ask me about chia seeds. The first thing that came to mind were " Chia Pets " . Then I got serious and started researching. Found this site. These are pretty interesting seeds. I think it might be handy to have these around -- just in case!! Wonder what they mean by " antinutritional compounds found in flax. " ?? Any ideas? More info here: http://www.eatchia.com " Chia seeds are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and fiber. The small greyish seeds can be mixed in water or juice to make a refressing beverage, sprinkled on cereal, eaten as a snack, or can be ground and mixed with flour and baked. The nut like flavor is very pleasing. Chia seeds are very similar to flax in composition but do not posses any of the antinutritional compounds found in flax.

" > ------------------------------------------------- Maybe they are referring to the vitamins in flax that don't seem to be in chia seeds. Or maybe the iron or other metals. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.
