Chia Food?

The new health food craze is here – chia seeds!

If you got a Chia Pet as a gift and never got around to all that soaking and prepping the head – just sprinkle the seeds on your cereal instead! It turns out they’re chock full of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber and minerals. Chia seeds have got a nutty flavor, are good for our heart – and might even help lower the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. If you already grew your Chia Pet, don’t worry – chia seeds are available online and at some health food stores.
