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.

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.

I tried them on my head years ago but they washed off everytime I

showered, or the dog would lick them off.

:-) Funny me! Bob

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)

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.

********************

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.
