Chia seeds

[sickboy]

Flight docs, any opinion on chia seeds? They're supposed to be nutritional powerhouses, but all the articles online read like advertisements.

I couldn't find anything on the NOMI guide, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

A quick search of Salvia hispanica on wikipedia was quite surprising. It seems to have better nutritional properties than wheat grass which a lot of people go apeshit over. I'm sticking to vitamins, but I'll never look at the Chia Obama commercial the same.

Seems like a good deal, high in Omega-3, etc. I have a hard time getting over the chia pet thing.

Are these the same seeds that make up a Chia Pet?
