Guest guest Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 My information is old. I saw chia seeds being sold in a local food co-op back in the days before the internet. It said it was good for increasing energy. I checked with a friend who knew vastly more than I did back then. I asked him whether the energy was real eneregy, or if it just depleted eneegy stores of the body. After he did some checking, he told me that chia depleted energy much the same way caffinated beverages do. He may have been wrong. I had no way of checking him back then.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 After reading about chia seeds here, I happened to be at the HFS yesterday and there was a display of them....so I bought some....lady said to just mix with water or juice, that it makes a gel and is great for you. Anyone actually using this yet??? SeaLady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chia is a seed that's high in essential fatty acids and protein. I love it - I feel like it gives me a lot of energy when I add some to my green smoothies. I get mine from therawfoodworld.com which is the lowest price I've found it at so far and Matt Monarch (the owner) seems pretty trust-worthy (I've seen him in a couple of interviews.) I've been pleased with his company and its products thus far. Sparrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Your not from around here are you. Every Christmas there are commercials about the Chia Pet. Google it. Chia is a seed that you can sprout and eat. ew chia Date: Wed, 08 Oct 2008 02:21:08 -0000 thank you, Thia, I will look into those. I guess he was kidding about " dead seeds " what is " Chia " ? I love nuts for snack, particularly soaked almonds, and bananas, apples, grapes. Goji and chocolate nibs together, or a teaspoon of nut paste , cashew, almond or peanut. my favorite: fresh coconut when I can find it, delicious, healthy and nutritious... miss lavande Sunshine makes the flowers dance.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 i lost my pet rock in a sand box along with 3 matchbox cars - i still have issues over that it's true, i remember seeing a commercial recently. I've never tried chia seeds for food, but i know they're high in calcium and phosphorous (sorry sp) and good fiber and manganese - i'll have to try some Sparrow > They still have commercials?

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Truth is that I don't remember seeing them for a while, but I'm told that they are still for sale. I'm going to buy one for show and tell when I do my sprout talks. ew Re: chia Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2008 21:49:54 -0600 On 10/7/08, Ernest Willingham <99tomatoes@...> wrote: > > Every Christmas there are commercials > about the Chia Pet.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 If Chia or any example grain or starchy seed is used as a staple food it will feed dysbiosis and candida pretty good. Nothing more to it than that; you decide if the value of the upside is better than the downside. You might tolerate small amounts and not materially affect your bowel ecology.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 But is chia really a starchy seed? It is mostly fatty oils, protein, and fiber. It has less than 2 grams of digestable carbs per serving (with no sugar). It seems to be ok for those on a low-carb diet, but not necessarily a no carb diet.
