Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 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.
