Product Description

The Chia Seed is an amazing food. For centuries many have used the seeds for a host of different reasons. Native Americans would take a pouch of seeds and a gourd of water on their trips. The seeds were their food source and taken with the water they would hydrate their bodies for endurance. When you hydrate the seeds in water the seeds shell opens up and absorbs up to nine times its volume in water. This then forms a gel, which is called Chia Seed Gel. The gel helps keep your body hydrated. The gel is also 90% soluble fiber, which is beneficial for your digestive track. People use the seeds when they are involved in sports or physical activities for endurance.

How to use Chia Seeds
To get the most out of Chia, make Chia Gel. It's one part Chia Seeds to 9 parts water. I make it in a Mason jar (shake or stir until the seeds begin to suspend in the gel) and keep it in the refrigerator. It creates a thick gel that you can add to most anything and it doesn't change the flavor. There's lots of info on the Web. Have a look! Chia seeds are phenomenal.

Really are a wonder for me
They really are simple to use. I put a tablespoon of them in my protein shake I mix in the morning for my drive to work. Also put the same in my instant (low sugar) oatmeal I eat when I get to work. I mix a little in my Kashi microwave lunch after heating. They soften quicker in warmer liquid but even if they're not completely softened when you consume them - that will take place in your stomach during digestion. I've noticed no bad or side effects and have seen my energy level rise and stabilize throughout the day. I not only am back to a regular workout schedule but find myself doing more around the house. Certainly I can't say it's all because of Chia, but I do think they're a factor. I've been using for 3 weeks now and have lost 10 lbs. I didn't buy them to loose weight but for the touted nutritional benefits and I'm sure not everyone will have the same experience with them. I'll follow up after a few more weeks.

OUTSTANDING
This is a great thing to have. If you don't know, you should educate yourself of the power of chia seeds. They have a long history of being used by warriors and runners throughout the ages.
I personally have these for breakfast and feel energized well past 3 in the afternoon when i have my lunch. In fact i just ordered a 5 pound bag from the same seller, i strongly recommend it.
