So what's the deal on chia seeds guys? Real super food with great benefits or fake and gay?

Just got a bag and started drinking the gelatinous bastards.

>> No.6611952

No such thing as superfoods. That's bullshit that people who watch Dr Oz believe because they're obsessed with taking the easy way out when it comes to achieving an actual human weight.

>> No.6611954

Well I'm already fairly thin so weight loss is not really my focus on this. I'm just curious if they are actually nutritious or if it's just recycled mexican shit pellets.

He is even the spokesperson for the southern Oregon meth project...

Anyway. I doubt that faggot likes chia pets, OP.

Though the term 'superfood' is just a marketing gimmick, chia seeds do have health benefits. You can research them pretty easily using your favorite search engine. I used to drink/eat them for energy. Haven't bought any in a long time though.

wow

>>6611925
I can't say if the benefits are real because I don't have a lab to test and verify the claims being made about them but they taste nice and add a different texture to my morning oats.

I've been meaning to start a thread about nutritional guides provided with food and how that info is obtained and if we can trust it. I mean look at this image. Same product, different stats.

chia pudding is nice.

the thick juice with chia seeds in it has a bad texture though.

Yea I did some research using "Google" (my favorite engine) and it all looked good, but I was wondering if you guys actually had any hands on experience .

Also I just got some lube in the mail today, so Scooby and my hippo will both be taking a trip to the barber...

Did you really compare the serving size figures without noticing that the serving size for each brand is different? Please don't breed.
The only constant figure (and the only one worth comparing) is the quantity per 100 grams.

There is no such thing as a Super Food, it's just a buzz term, like when everything was 99% fat free, it doesn't make it healthy. Eat chia if you want. But if you want to be healthy, eating macca's + chia won't help. Just eat a balanced diet.

It's nutritious and more importantly, makes drinks more delicious.

Dude, I am already fairly healthy. Just want that extra nutrient boost in the diet and this seems like a nice way to get it. I'm not a /fit/fag so I don't care about weight building potential or dieting, I just want to know if anyone has eaten the seeds and saw any benefit other than the fun jelly texture of the drink.

I bought some chia seeds this weekend because I'd never tried them and was curious. Made some pumpkin, lentil and chia seed soup

Tastes alright

Sent from my toilet.
