*snicker* I just popped open the chia head that we got for a
friend for his 30th birthday - you are correct, they are chia
seeds ;-)

The Quote Starts Here:
If these seeds kinda look like black sesame seeds, only not quite
so
flat, they aren't nigella. They're used in South Asian and
Southeast
Asian iced drinks. You soak them and they get a sort of
"gelatinous"
coating. South and Southeast Asians think they're great. American
might think they look "funny". The Indonesian name is "biji
selasi",
but they're really.... ch... ch... ch... chia seeds.
