i couldnt wait so went to the shop before it closed and bought a small bag of Chia seeds. i have been a busy bee in the kitchen since. I made a tiny amount of Steakmans pudding (only a small ramekin of it) and i only had single cream but it worked fine, and i have to say it was very nice indeed, just like tapioca! i also tried a garlic and cheese pan bread which was ok but too omelette-ie for me to justify using them-i would just have an omelette. Then i made a pizza base and it worked great, its gone nice and crispy too. I have to say so far i would say it works better as a dessert but i have only done 3 recipes and there are loads of l/c Chia recipes online. What i like about it is that it has no taste itself so in that respect it comes up trumps for me as i am not keen on the hay like taste of flax and almond meal can be very sweet. the pack says 12gms of carbs and 11 fibre. so i think that means 1gm of carb (correct me if i am wrong)
