Chia

Is chia similar to psyllium as is fibre? I have read about it and it says you can eat it when made into a gel as a fibre supplement and its a ‘dieters friend’ and I have read recipe’s for puddings made from it on here and I have seen it for sale of Ebay.. how good is it? How filling and what sort of laxative effect does it have?

Here’s how to get the most out of your Chia: *Soak them in water 4-1 (4 parts water to 1 part chia) for 8-12 hours to start the germination process, stir occasionally. *Spread the gelled mass thinly onto your teflex, and dehydrate until completely dry. *Now put in a jar and refrigerate until ready to use. *Grind WELL in a coffee mill and add to your food. Sprouted and dried chia breaks up into a powder and isn’t gritty!
