Premium Ground Grain, 6.4 Ounce Bag

I prefer the whole grain to the ground seed. When mixed with liquid (about 2 Tablespoons of Salba to 1 cup of liquid), it forms a gel. The whole grain has the consistency of tapioca pudding; the ground salba is a bit too gritty for me, even after it gels up. Whatever form one uses (ground or whole grain), Salba (chia seed) doesn't have much flavor of it's own, so it takes on the flavor of whatever I mix with it.I do like that it has omega-3 (which is good for my heart) and fiber (which is good for my digestion).

It is an excellent choice to get more fiber in my body! The product is GREAT! It does not change the taste of your food; it just make me feel full longer, causing me to eat less. Thanks Amazon for having such wonderful products like this that is delivered right to my door!

I enjoyed the Salba much more so than flax seeds. It has a nice nutty taste and can be mixed well with oatmeal or eaten alone. I didn't find that it gave me more energy as some websites have purported, but knowing it is good for me is enough for me.

You really have to just use a bit or the flavor takes over a food. I use it for baby food for the health benefits.

When I turned Vegan, I worried about finding a reliable source of Omega-3. Ground Salba is ultra convenient - just drop a spoonful into any dish and you've got an instant nutrition boost. I put it in my oatmeal every morning and can't even tell it's there.

I love the Salba brand, and ground chia is one of the best tools for gum-free gluten-free baking. A teaspoon or two mixed in with the flours really helps as a binder.

I haven't yet found a chia with a strong flavor, but this one seems--to me--to be milder than other brands I have tried. Excellent way to boost the nutrition of almost anything you eat.
