The power of Chia Seed, Supper food of the Aztecs

The following link is to part one of an interview with Dr. Wayne Coates, who is perhaps the world's foremost educator on chia seeds. Dr. Coates was among the first to grow chia seeds experimentally and later for commercial purposes. An expert in the field of new crops such as chia and jojoba, his career as a research professor at the University of Arizona spanned over twenty-five years. Dr. Coates holds a doctorate in Agricultural Engineering from Oklahoma State University, Stillwater. He is the co-author with Ricardo Ayerza of Chia: Rediscovering a Forgotten Crop of the Aztecs(/I), 2005 

This is a really great interview; I highly recomend it.  Click here to read the whole interview.

  Mago Chia Puddings

Combine in your blender:
1  cup  soaked Dried Mango (rehydrated)
1/2  cup  Water
1/4  cup Really Raw Cashew
2 tsp Lemon Juice ( about ½ Lemon)
1 tsp Vanilla
½ tsp Sea Salt

Blend thoroughly and mix with ¼ cup Chia Seeds. Let soak stirring occasionally to avoid clumping. Add more water if it gets too thick. You may want to use the water you soaked the dried mango in as it has a lot of flavor. Serve pudding topped with chopped Pineapple, Orange wedges or other tropical fruits.
Experiment with different Dried Fruits for an endless array of flavors.
Nut Milks can also be used for rich creamy puddings. Try adding Chai Tea, Cocoa, Macca, Mate for other tasty flavors.

Treats for the Holidays

I always loved Caramel Apples. Now I can do them raw. Blend some Medjool Dates with Nama Shoyu Soy Sauce and Sun Organic Farms, Vanilla flavoring and wallah you have Caramel. You will need to add a little water to get the right consistence. Adding in some Pecan or Walnuts can also be quite good. Now Skewer your apple with a long Bamboo Skewer, then dip the apple in the Caramel sauce. If you like you can roll them in crushed Almonds before refrigeration.

Off to the Hamptons
