Chia seeds are pretty interesting. If you take a spoonful of seeds and put them into water and let it sit several minutes, the water gels up. Big time.

That's how they got the chia seeds to stick onto those stupid 'Chia Pets' from yesteryear.

I'd be inclined to sprout them (same process as alfalfa seeds) and then ferment them (Fermented Plant Extract) as the sprouts contain almost all of compounds found in the original seed. Apply the liquid from the fermentation process (diluted) as a foliar application.

There is chia seed oil out there in the holistic medicine world so they must to something with the remaining seed meal like they do with canola seeds, flax seeds, soybeans, et al.
