Bought some chia seeds, thinking of throwing them in my oatmeal in the morning. Can I just throw them in raw? Or am I supposed to cook them? (or do something else with them)

Joking aside I was told and after a quick Google search, you're supposed to soak them. They absorb 10x their weight in water. What you should use them for though... Idk. I do know that when I worked for first watch they made it into a pudding using cocanut miilk and berries and it was amazeballz (would say fire but due to my lack of melanin and looking through the some older posts, as a honk y I'm obligated to be cringe)

yeah that's what I'm getting from trying to read up a bit. I think I'm going to try and soak them for like 15 minutes or something in some water before adding them to the oatmeal.

Sounds good, once you get a better idea of the textures and flavors they impart, more than likely you'll find more things to put em in. Along of course, the plenty of suggestions these darn hexbearinos will give ya.
