I'm interested to know what people end up doing with the chia seed. I have some white and black in my pantry, but am not really sure what to do with it other than sprinkle it on my cereal and use every now and then in small amounts in baking.

The package says it goes into a gel if you mix a tablespoon in water; hasn't happened for me yet. Do you have to heat it, I wonder? I left it soaking overnight but no gel like I would get when soaking psyllium.
