Re: Chia seeds-eating them / not flax seed or hemp

[Guest guest]

You could mix them in apple sauce, or yogurt...

or you could sprinkle them on a salad or fish after cooking...

or sprinkle them on a piece of toast spread with coconut oil.

or is this not what you are looking for?

I have eaten them just by the spoonful and then swig a bit of water, tea or

juice to wash them down...

Does anyone have ideas on how to get a serving of chia into your system

and not

have a thick pasty drink to drink as in putting a scoop into a smoothie?

Chia Seed is superior to both flax seed and hemp. Here are 2 sites with good

info:

http://tinyurl.com/4pg5kg2

Basically, Chia seeds and Flax seeds have more electrolytes and fiber compared

to Hemp seed but Chia seeds have a significantly longer shelf-life as Hemp and

Flax go rancid in relatively short periods. Additionally, Chia is similar to

Flax but without the estrogen and phytoestrogen element. And the seeds don't

need to be ground to be well digested. The taste is mild and bland so can be

added to anything. I like to make a jell by soaking them in water or apple juice

and then add 2 TBS to my smoothie or salad. Chia seeds contain:

• 2 times the protein of any other seed or grain

• 5 times the calcium of milk

• 2 times the amount of potassium as bananas

• 3 times more iron than spinach

• and of course, copious amounts of omega-3 and omega-6

Best,

Dee

Those are the kind of ideas I was after.

Do you have any idea how many things I swig down with water already? I do so

many different things that are tasteless to bad tasting. I happen to be glad

sometimes that I live alone. In this case, there is no one to watch me doing my

daily regimen. So people think I am only a little weird.

Hi Lyn,

I get that...lol.  Hoping you use chlorine and flouride free water.

I too take a number of things that taste less than good...but I view that as our

'spoonful of sugar' culture that has an issue w/ anything that has an 'off' 

taste...and now, I actually enjoy the earthy taste of the herbs i take...and it

helps diminish my sweet tooth.

I have had herbal clients that too say the same thing.   In the beginning it

was an issue of taste for them.

Then after taking the herbal tinctures for a bit, they got used to them...and

now it is no issue.

Green says we need the bitters to rev up our digestion whiich is why long

ago folks had the dandelion greens as a salad before eating.   We have become

bitter-phobic.

Yes, if some folks saw me and my ways, I would be considered weird too...

but I have never been 'main-stream'...and I like it that way...

my best to you in health...

products on this site.

I would blend ground chia seed into an undenatured whey smoothie. I already add

inulin, vitamin D, selenium, lecithin, sometimes coconut cream and I intend to

add rice bran when I get it.

It's getting closer to that " glyconutrient pudding " I invented 10 years ago in

which I suggested psyllium for the thickener; just maybe the rice bran will gel

the pudding and I'll be able to use less psyllium.

all good,

Duncan

If your smoothie is drinkable and not thick, share with me what your quantities

are. Because, for me, I seem to have to add so much water to make it smooth that

I lose the flavor of the things I put in it.

Joan, thank you for that link. I had no idea how to really use chia seed. I went

through one jar of it two years ago, but I did not know how to adjust to the

thickness it produces. It just isn't oatmeal that I grew up on. This information

really helps.

I am having trouble with flax seed, too. I suppose I can try flax in the same

way chia is used now, but if anyone has a different perspective of how to use

it, feel free to teach me. I will be starting kefir soon, so I will try to use

that in smoothies and yogurt when the kefir makes yogurt.

I cleaned up my diet two years ago. Now I am starting to break into yet a new

area of the world of healthful food.

My water is alkalized and I will be starting back up as soon as I get

replacement filters. So I have that covered. I discovered that two years ago. My

alkalized water brought me leaps and bounds toward health. I will not be without

it.

I am just starting to take Bavarian Herbal Bitters for the first time. But I

also found out that citrus fruit peels are also bitters, so I could have saved

my money because I buy lemons and limes all the time. I found out I really like

them squeezed onto food.

How do you harvest dandelion with the root, too? Is it just a matter of getting

down and dirty with a shovel to scoop it out? Or is there a trick?
