chia seeds?

I watch The Doctors religiously... especially if weight loss or beauty tips is one of the topics.

The other night i saw one talking about chia seeds.
Some use these for the fiber, calcium, and the fact they are high in omega 3's. (suppose to be better than flax seed)

The discussion came up that they can also be great for weight loss as a hunger suppressant because they absorb water (expanding to 10x their size) turn into a gel like substance making you feel fuller.

to my surprise, it doesnt taste. (unlike flaxseed)
i have had chia seeds in my oatmeal and pudding and didnt even notice a difference in taste.

anyone else try these?

I've never heard of them but they sound like something I'd like to try.

I heard one of my co-workers on the phone with Whole Foods the other day checking if they carried chia seeds, and they do. I guess she must have saw this episode, too. I didn't realize she was looking for actual CHIA seeds (as in Chia pets??). Anyway, I haven't tried them, but I'm interested. Wonder if anyone has any recipes?
