I've always been curious about the "super food" power of chia seeds. I have been told how versatile they are (a quick google search will turn around about 5,000 ideas) and I thought I'd like to try them myself.

First, the price: I suspect that the reason for the high price point is the "super food" label. If you want to save money, I probably wouldn't make these seeds a regular part of your grocery list.

Second: the first thing I made was something called "chia seed pudding" whereby you put chia seeds in some milk and add a variety of spices to your taste (in my case, cinnamon and nutmeg). Be prepared. What they look like when they're done is a grey mass full of small dinosaur-egg looking things. And the texture is pretty far out if you're even slightly picky about your food.

Nonetheless, if you'd adventurous and looking to add some new health foods to your diet, give it a try! My next move is to figure out all sorts of other things you can do with them!
