I am a traditionalist in most things, including food; I rarely jump on a bandwagon for the newest healthy thing out there, because most of it is bunk.\u00a0 But then, in our modern age, many of us are still discovering the traditional foods that other people groups have been eating for centuries.\u00a0 Such is the case with chia seeds.\u00a0 This nutty, delicious seed spiked in popularity about a year or so ago and is now falling into the shadows of the latest-coolness; but I do not consider it a \u201cbandwagon\u201d at all\u2014rather, we were all a bit late to the party and shouldn’t make an exit too soon.<\/p>\n
