Chia seeds - What are they?

I have been looking for recipes to liven up my organic veg box and every now and then I come across some new exotic ingredients that are labelled super foods. of course this then leads to some research and I stumbled across this article. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/10335775/Superfoods-are-chia-seeds-and-goji-berries-really-good-for-you.html

Chia Seeds

The food I was researching was Chia Seeds, and unfortunately I stopped by this article and the illusion was gone. I will try them though as it seems to be fair and the recipe which can be found here certainly looks delicious. With winter squash a real staple of our veg boxes finding new recipes is very welcome. I'll keep you posted as to the success of it.
