Or just a foolish fad? Actually, the Chia Pet is a
ridiculous fad (that won't go away), especially
absurd in that if we had been eating the seeds
instead of growing them on the backs of terra cotta
bulls all these years, we'd all be healthier.
Aztec runners ate chia seeds for energy. It's
considered one of the Ancient Grains (i.e.,
spelt, amaranth, quinoa, millet, einkorn,
triticale, emmer, teff, and a few others).
So there IS something to the story.
Stay tuned
for more, including a shot of my new 5-seed
(chia, sesame, flax, poppy, sunflower)
buckwheat-bran bread. Unreal. And some
impressive nutritional info.

ReplyDeleteBeen holding out on us all this time, eh Mikey? Shame on youse.... How are you eating them? Like the Aztec runners of yore...right out of the bag? Or as part of specific recipes? Let us know (unless, of course, it's proprietary info meant only for the select few who reside on Fredon-Marksboro). Grazie.
