So you harvest the seeds, not the plants? You have so many facts there! I'm watching this auction! What does the flower look like? So, you just harvest the seeds, not the plants? Are the perennial or annual?

Chia is an annual herb that is a member of the mint family. Its seeds are highly nutritious and contain omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, calcium, iron, vitamin C and a host of other minerals. Consequently, many health-conscious gardeners want to grow the chia at home so they can harvest its nutritious seeds. The chia plant is quite easy to grow in western North America where it grows wild. Once sown in August, the chia can be left to its own devices until the flowers dry and it is time to harvest the seeds.

I thought that chia looked like grass, but that's not the case?

Feb 17th, 2011 at 3:49:26 AM PST by

No ... :) I have sproute them and they don't as far as I remember ... I think they have little round leaves on them when they are sprouting ...

Feb 17th, 2011 at 3:45:44 PM PST by

What do they taste like? How do you prepare them and use them in or as food?

Feb 18th, 2011 at 7:45:16 AM PST by

I haven't really tasted them, though I have heard that they have a "nutty"
taste. Chia seeds may be used in just about anything you eat. They can
be mixed with smoothies, salads, soups, cereal, basically anything. Chias
can also be baked and cooked with foods as they do not lose their beneficial values when heated!
