Chia seed

[In her newsletter column "Have you tried...", HPC member Katharine Holden tells us about products on HPC's shelves that the reader may enjoy. Here's one:]

In the bulk section with all the other Frontier spice products, you’ll find whole chia seed. Chia seed is high in Omega-3s and fiber, and contains vitamin C and other nutrients. You can mix a scoop into a beverage and drink it down (I gagged on water with chia, but did better with cranberry juice and chia). Or you can make a sort of paste from it and add it to foods. I’m almost certain that ingesting chia seed will not result in green grass sprouting all over your body, but you might want to read up on chia seed before use, just in case.
