History
Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica L) have been a staple food source (named ‘pinole’) for the American Native people for centuries.
Native people have used Chia gel on wounds, for colds and sore throats, for upset stomachs, body odors, prostate problems, and even constipation.
Aztec warriors would eat Chia during hunting trips, and the Indians of the Southwest would eat only Chia seed mixed with water as they ran from the Colorado River to the Pacific Ocean to trade products.
Use
The fastest and easiest way to take Chia seed is to add one tablespoon Chia seed into an eight-ounce glass of water or juice, stir to break up any lumps, let sit about five minutes, stir again, and then drink.
Chia can be added to jams, jellies, nut spreads, smoothies, cereals, sauces, soups etc. as a fat replacer, for energy and endurance, or for added great taste.
Here's how to make a ready-made gel, which has a slightly nutty flavor (unless you throw in lots of other ingredients, like herbs):
Put nine parts water in a sealable plastic container. Slowly pour one part seed into the water, then mix with a wire whisk or fork. This process will avoid any clumping of the seed. Wait a few minutes and stir again to break up any clumps, let stand ten minutes, and stir again. Store up to two weeks in the refrigerator. Add the gel to any of the above-mentioned foods, mix well, and taste. You will notice a very smooth texture, with the integrity of the flavor intact, but you have added 50 to 70 percent more volume to your food and have displaced calories and fat by incorporating an ingredient that is ninety percent water and 10% highly nutritional!
