Benefits of Chia Seeds| The Best Way to Eat Chia Seeds

important: add water every time you eat chia seeds, as they can stick in the throat and cause serious problems. this should have been mentioned. also, the photo of them on top of the dessert can be misleading as they are not lubricated.

Do you discard the water after soaking? Many thanks

Cook them into your oatmeal with frozen berries and sultanas, when the porridge cools down it goes like a gelatinous desert.

If we soak the chia seeds in plant milk, over night and then consume the pudding - aren’t we getting the lectins into the body?
