Trends don’t just happen in fashion, they happen in food too. People have ever-changing tastes, while trends — especially food trends — can be hard to keep up with. On that note, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to tell you a little secret about me, “I eat bugs every other day”. Yes, you heard me right. They are very tasty to me and I’d be lying if I said otherwise. Alright, I knew what thoughts popped-up in your mind, “why on earth she is eating bugs”?
Lol, I’m sorry for freaking you guys out. I did a little exaggeration up there. OK, lets get real. All this time I’m talking about these cute little babies so called Chia & Flax seeds. As far as I know, I’m never going to stop loving these tiny rascals. I’m going to kick myself if I end up having lived my life without trying the recipe with chia & Flax seeds. I never really knew all the hard facts behind these babies when I started, but I’m thoroughly convinced with those benefits..They are commendable.

I add these to my milk shakes and cereals out of respect to their rich nutrition but they are tasteless never tried any recipes though. Any suggestions to change my perception? Perhaps, I would someday start liking it just like I drink green tea now without honey, I hated that taste once.

Hi Sudhir, At first even I thought maybe my taste buds had gone out of order.. Then i gradually started incorporating to some of our south Indian dishes.. Especially dry roasted flax seeds make a great addition to any podi, making our own podi which has so much more flavor than a store bought one. It rocks with idli and dosa..
For chia seeds, let it soak at least few hours or even overnight in water/milk and then blend it along with smoothie gives a great texture and taste .. I can share couple of links with u.. Hope this helps..
