Default Chia Seeds

Anyone try them? A 3 tablespoon serving has only 2 net carbs (12g
fiber). They are reportedly high in omega-3s, and are supposed to be
easier to digest than flax seed. I use them in the morning mixed with a
bit of Fiber One and some berries with almond milk and a splash (or two
or three) of heavy cream.

Today for the first time I tried them hot by sticking straight chia
seeds with the almond milk/cream in the microwave. Satisfying as any
oatmeal I've ever had! They do swell up with the addition of liquid and
tend to clump if you don't mix them well. The mixture can get quite
thick so use more liquid than seems right.

I've thrown them in pancake batter made with Carbalose, sprinkled them
on salad, etc.

BTW: Keep dental floss handy.
