What is it?

It is like the chia pets...it is the chia. Apparently there is alot of talk about it really helping diabetes. It has omega 3's in it and no gluten. I'm not allowed to post a link but there is a ton of info on it on the net through google.

It is suppose to release a steadier pace of insulin. It was on msn's opening page the day before yesterday. I guess it's a grain?

Hmm, I've never heard of it really other than when you said chia. If you sprout it like that, it should be fine, not sure about it as a grain, they seem pretty inedible that way anyway.
