I should be able to write that post fairly quickly. Thanks for the idea. :-)<br /><br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-28736913097368482682010-05-23T09:01:24.042-04:002010-05-23T09:01:24.042-04:00Hi Ali.

I started wondering about the comparison to flax seeds, so of course, I came straight to your blog. This post helps, but what about the amount of everything else in Chia seeds--protein, fiber, antioxidants? I'd love any insight.<br /><br />xoxo,<br />LJLJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08232653705552184568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-81368629190102828062010-05-12T14:31:17.658-04:002010-05-12T14:31:17.658-04:00Megan,

Also, I like the fact that flax has lignans. But that probably isn't too surprising since cancer is one of my hot buttons.<br /><br />Laura emailed me a website for chia seeds that you may want to check out if you decide to buy them. It is: www.getchia.com<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-82449114976901420632010-05-12T12:43:41.123-04:002010-05-12T12:43:41.123-04:00Thanks for the lowdown on Chia seeds.

The texture is similar to tomato seeds. If you grind them they are good for thickening liquids. I found they also work well in salad dressing.<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-20772158194213659752010-05-11T21:32:48.836-04:002010-05-11T21:32:48.836-04:00Brandi,

If I had to describe them they are similar to the little seeds in tomatoes with the pulp around them. <br /><br />Glad you found your green tea.
