Chia is a great food to have as a staple in the diet in my experience. I have between 3 - 4 cups per week, and have done so for years.
One of the best ways to prepare chia is to sprout it lightly and blend it for 30 seconds in fermented grain water to aid absorption. Even better is to grow chia grass for 2 weeks and then juice it, but this takes more skill to do and is fiddly. The easiest way is to just sprout chia for 2 - 3 days so the tails are about 1 mm, but sprouting too long make it lose it meatiness and taste because it becomes too grassy tasting. -
can you eat the mature leaves?

मुझे काफी कुछ सीखने को मिलता है और और मैं चाहता हूं कि और भी किसानों को नई तकनीक की जानकारी मिल सके, लेकिन मैं यह सोचकर परेशान होता कि सारे किसानों के पास अच्छा फोन कहां होगा जो गांव में कम पढें लिखे हैं, मैं भी उसी तरह का किसान हूँ।

Thanks for sharing. I might try growing chia. How long did it take from planting to harvest? I want to make sure there is enough time for them to mature. I wonder how strong the stems of the plants are and it might be interesting to grow with sweet peas or scarlet runner beans. The beans could be good for the soil, which another commenter noted could be ajust issue if growing the same crop season after season. Crop rotation works, too. What are the other beautiful flowers growing alongside the chia?
