For most of my life, when I heard chia, I thought of pets (although I’ve never personally seen one.) About fifteen years ago, I read Born to Run and learned that people ate chia seeds for energy. When I went on a cruise in 2019, I had a chia pudding that looked ugly but tasted good.
Since then, I’ve heard about chia seeds in plenty of running books, podcasts, and videos. I looked into making overnight oats (with disastrous results), and many of the recipes included chia seeds.
I’ve decided I’d like to add chia seeds to my diet. It took me a while to find them in Walmart, but I finally found the right aisle last week.
Unfortunately, they only had large packages that were rather pricy. I’m not ready to commit to a huge bag of chia seeds that I may never use. (This goes against my empty pantry plan.)
So I need some help. Do you eat chia seeds? Can I borrow half a cup? I wish they made a beginners bag that I could buy. If you know where I can find that, without breaking the bank, that would be great.
If you have any experience with chia seeds, let me know. This is not a normal food for me, but I enjoyed the pudding I had on the cruise. If I decide I like it, then I can buy the big bag at Walmart.
Many thanks.
