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)

    1. I find they go really well in (non-dairy im-vegan) yogurt. Sprinkle some on, stir, wait 5 minutes.
    2. Chia egg (mix with cold water, wait 5-10 minutes) is a great substitute in every recipe that needs a binder. Lots of uses in baking.
    3. Smoothies. Go nuts.
    4. Overnight oats are a popular meal prep option, and chia can add lots of good nutrients without conflicting with whatever flavor profile you're working into the oats.
