Book Reviews of The Magic of Chia: Revival of an Ancient Wonder Food
Book Review: Not much out there on chia, so this may be the best of the bunch
Summary: 3 Stars
Small book with primarily historical information. I wanted more recipes than this has to offer. Guess I'll stick with my own drink formulation (water, 2 tablespoons chia seeds and either orange, lemon or lime -- all the fruit except for seeds and peel -- sweetener to taste, whizzed in the blender to pulverize and mix it all. And, if you leave it too long, the chia gets gelatinous which I don't find particularly pleasant. I prefer the tiny seeds since I just chug it anyway.) I find the beverage mix filling, but the process of cleaning the blender is a bit of a disincentive, especially if I've let the seeds get gelatinous and sticky. My other planned use is on top of the "no knead" artisan bread loaves.
Summary of The Magic of Chia: Revival of an Ancient Wonder Food
In The Magic of Chia, authority James F. Scheer details the seed's abundant nutrients: calcium, amylose (a slow-burning starch helpful for hypoglycemics), a vast array of vitamins and minerals, and an unusually good ratio of omega-3 oil to omega-6 oil. The book reintroduces this wonder food to the modern palate, with numerous tested recipes for using chia to upgrade the nutritional value of hamburgers, soups, salads, breads, fruit drinks, and much more. Included is the never before told story about the twenty-year program to domesticate the wild chia and, for the first time in modern history, grow it in large enough quantities to supply the U.S. and world markets.Natural Foods Books
