Yes, Chia seed, the kind of seeds they use on Chia Pets, and I am adding it to my diet.

It is said to be rich in dietray fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. Some also say that it takes longer to pass through your system, keeping hunger away longer after eating. We’ll see how it works for me.

You can sprinkle the seeds on food when you eat. You can also soak it in water for 10 – 15 minutes to make Chia gel. The gel can then be mixed with drinks, yogurt, etc. I drank it directly and it didn’t have any taste at all (without chewing the seeds.)

I got the them on Amazon.

Note: shown below is White Chia that came in a sample packet. The regular kind gel much better and bigger.
