RE: Steemit Culinary Challenge #31 - Mixed Fruit and Veggie Salad with tiger kitty

Thank you for the recommendation, I'm definitely gonna go stalk her blog a tiny bit :D when I was working in a grocery store there was one old man that would come to get chia seeds all the time, he said he lets them sit in a cup of milk overnight and then drinks that in the mornings because apparently they have some medicinal properties, I need to research it, because I'm not sure if it's true or not. People tend to believe that blueberries are good for your sight, but I watched a documentary and it turned out they actually don't do anything to your ability to see anyways and it was spinach that improved an old couple's vision . . . don't know why I just said that haha

:-) Yes, chia seeds are very nutritional and very versatile (in the hands of a creative cook!) Soaking brings out more of their nutritional benefits and also as they're super absorbant they can actually dehydrate you if you eat too much raw!!! This is a pretty informative article about how & why to soak them if you want: https://organicvegansuperfoods.com/how-and-why-you-should-soak-chia-seeds-before-eating-them/. I can't wait to see one of your recipes featuring these great little seeds when you've had chance to create!!!
