Chia Seeds

 

Yow-Yow was enjoying some chia seeds steeped in hot water, and we noticed that they began to separate into this cool pattern.  Needless to say, I grabbed my camera, a smaller glass of them, and headed into the sun (22C here btw today, best winter ever).  The reason the are suspended is because of a gelatine of some sort that surrounds them once immersed in water.  It’s sort of like a tapioca ball with a crunchy center.

Anyways, as you can see, I took a bunch from different angles.  While I like the main one the best, these next three are pretty sweet too!
