23. National Chia Day - Chia seeds have many health-boosting properties including helping to lower blood pressure, to balance blood sugar levels and are packed with fibre. Have you ever eaten Chia seeds?

I am sure that I have, but not sure when. They are not really something I come across often, not like flax seeds.

Chia seeds are often used to thicken things like a protein shake or a pudding. Vegan cookery uses them a lot.

Ah, that explains it. We really don't make a lot of protein shakes, particularly in winter. I also do not cook many vegan meals; vegetarian yes, but not so much vegan.
