Before I forget... Has anyone here experimented with chia? If
so, do you have any tips? I got some the other day because I read
they could be used in a kind-of tapioca-like dessert.

I was pleased because I had noticed them at a store that wasn't as
expensive as Whole Foods, to say nothing of smaller health food
stores. Then, as I was checking the price at WF, I noticed theirs
were a much darker color. Are the lighter ones a poorer quality?
