Re: chia seed

I love chia seeds, not just because they are a sustainable and environmentally friendly crop with great nutritional value ...... but because they are so wonderful to add to raw smoothies and raw desserts. They are almost tasteless, so can be added to lots of stuff as a thickener.

I use some chia seeds, soaked in water for 30 minutes, then add some raw cacao and a little agarve or raw honey ... whizz up in the blender .... and you get: Raw jelly!!!!!!!!

I also think chia is a great substitute for flax, since most of us are already exposed to too many estrogens.
