I have heard lots of good things about chia seeds (for consumption not for the pets)    I know they are very high in Omega 3 and 6.  Does anyone take them?  Are they flavourful?

I don't find they have much flavour, really. They're crunchy if you eat them right away after you put them in something (ie, Greek yogurt). That's the only way I've ever tried them. I bought two containers at Costco and never remember I have them!   I like hemp seeds. They also sell those at Costco. They're fairly high in protein and also have Omega 3 & 6. They taste quite good and are also crunchy. I do the same things with those -- put them in my Greek yogurt.

You can smoosh up fruit like berries and add chia seeds and a few drops of water and leave it overnight in the fridge and you have fresh healthy jam to spread ... the chia gels and binds it all together.

I throw them in oatmeal and yogurt usually.
