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)

I soak them overnight in the fridge for a sort of pudding. Oat milk & cacao & vanilla with some berries is nice. I also put the soaked gel in smoothies sometimes.
I use them in baking too, but always soaked.
In my understanding it can be bad if you eat them dry as they absorb so much water.
In my county there is also a recommended daily amount for them, I think about 1-2tbs. So I tend to follow that if eating them.
