I want to try this but I am not sure if this available locally. Will have to check at the supermarket this weekend.

@Yuki – I’m not a big fan of using Chia in recipes. All by themselves with water and lemon is my preferred method. – LR

I’ve heard that chias have a very subtle taste that we can just add it directly to anything we eat or drink. Is this also right Lucas?

Hey! I just purchased some organic chia seeds from my health food store today. Should I keep them refrigerated? Also, should I keep organic flax seeds, raw sunflower seeds, and raw sesame seeds refrigerated?

Hi Lucas and fellow Yoga Body readers! I have just recently gotten aboar the chia gel train and everytime I have it I feel like I’m doing my heart a huge favor!

Quick question though, can I add in honey to sweeten it up a bit?

And what would I do with chia gel?

@Yen – that sounds like a LOT of supplements, but as long as your not getting digestive issues, there’s no reason why adding Chia would be a problem. – LR

Very interested with this Chia Seeds but i’d been taking 12 different kinds of supplements including omega3 fish oil for almost 6 years. Would it be possible to take this with my other supplements? Thanks!

Hi Janice! We had a shipping *problem* all sorted now. Very inexpensive. Thanks!

Thanks for this. I had been using too many seeds for the amount of water. Then they’d have a “crunchy top” like my grandmother’s apple strudel.

I was about to order chia seeds when I saw that the shipping and handling just about doubled the cost. How can it cost $20 for that?

Hi Jason – no, you MUST soak in water first. Chia take on about 30x their weight in liquid, so you want that to happen BEFORE they get into your belly:)

Lucas,
Can you just eat the seeds right out of the bag, crunchy style?
Or do you have to put them in the water to make the nutrients bio-available.
(I had some last night and it was funny because some of them got stuck in between my teeth and then ten minutes later they were all puffed up.)
