You have heard of "Chia Pets"? Where you place chia seed on a clay animal shape and it sprouts a green body! They have been around for a long time! Probablly imported to the US for China!  Okay, we've talked about the omega-3 up to now – that came from 34 percent of oil, of which 64 percent is omega-3. But in addition to that, it's very rich in protein; it's got 21 percent protein, which is very high for an oil crop, and this protein is very high in important amino acids. It's perfect for adults; it's even rich in lysine, one of the amino acids that is not in corn, and not in many things, and it's a very good source of fiber. It has 39 percent of its weight as fiber. And five to six percent is soluble fiber. The Indians were very smart, because they used corn and chia. Corn was low in lysine, and chia was high in lysine. A comparison that the World Health Organization made, for example, showed that the Aztec diet was more complete than the actual Mexican diet.
http://www.naturalnews.com/015405.html The protein content of chia exceeds that of other grains and seeds. Coates says chia is about 20 percent protein or more, compared with 14 percent for wheat. In addition, the protein is of higher quality, as determined by its amino acid composition. Both wheat and chia are limited in lysine, which is often the case for vegetarian protein sources. But the overall amino acid score for chia is 91 (based on a target of 100 for a full amino acid profile) vs. only 55 for wheat. The only essential amino acid that chia lacks is taurine.
http://www.livestrong.com/article/72936-nutritional-information-ground-chia-seeds/ Compared to other seeds and grains, PanaChia provides the highest percentage of complete protein, averaging between 21% and 22% protein, with 18 amino acids. Unlike many vegetarian sources of protein, PanaChia has adequate levels of lysine and trytophan, with good levels of phenylalanine and glycine, and high levels of arginine, glutamic acid and aspartic acid.
http://www.aviva.ca/shop/products.asp?itemid=5221&catid=141 Nutrients per Serving for Chia seeds per 1 ounce (28g) ]Protein & Amino Acids Amounts Per Selected Serving %DV Protein 4.4 g 9% Tryptophan 202 mg Threonine 186 mg Isoleucine 195 mg Leucine 352 mg Lysine 257 mg Methionine 25.2 mg Cystine 101 mg Phenylalanine 288 mg Tyrosine 141 mg Valine 294 mg Arginine 555 mg Histidine 147 mg Alanine 260 mg Aspartic acid 457 mg Glutamic acid 691 mg Glycine 254 mg Proline 251 mg Serine 283 mg Hydroxyproline ~
http://files.meetup.com/855189/Chia%20Seeds.doc. Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds carries them to plant! (Just a side note, The two seed stores are open Sun - Fri, and closed Sat! Maybe a Sabbath keeper? I read about the founder, some years ago. He was home schooled and started the business at age 17, ten years ago! http://rareseeds.com/cart/products/Chia_Crown_Jewels-1596-87.htmlApparently it is in the (sage / salvia ) mint family! I am seeing the seed sold in bulk in one of our big grocery stores that has a good natural food section. Aslo it is sold in drink mixes! I would think that the seeds purchased from the bulk foods could be planted. I bought some last summer, and I think I will try to grow some! It may only be an annual for me as it grows in Central America and Mexico! Looks like there are a number of sites with Chia Seed Recipes !

Green, what's the weight of two spoonfuls of yeast?
While perambulating through a bulk food store I happened upon a bin of flaked nutritional yeast, and guess who sprang to mind??? My opportunity for anecdotal research began with a sample acquistion of "Flaked *Redstar* Nutritional Yeast". ($30.00/kg) Messing in the kitchen, extrapolation proffered about 415 teaspoons/kg. These were not heaping spoonfuls, nor level, but generous, ample - as one would naturally spoon out such a product. I guesstimate about 2.5 grams per teaspoonful. Since *Redstar* is a brand name, specs on the lysine content should be available. (I forgot the ice cream) __________________

I like nutritional yeast on toast and popcorn, but I mainly use it in cooking adding it to soups, gravies, sauces, and loaves. Many vegan recipes call for it! Especially in vegan cheese! Most recipes call for a tablespoon or two, and so it is used in combination of other ingredients!

Just ran across this statement that someone made on fb, and thought it might be of interest? Lambsquarter is very common in India but only in winter months that is from october to feb. Even that time is shortenning because of warmer weather now a days. It goes by the name Bathua in northern India

Gordon, just noticed your post thanks to Crater's update here. Interesting figures. If you ever try food yeast on ice cream, let me know how you liked it. (I only liked it on certain kinds, like vanilla ice cream.)
Crater, I've spotted Lamb's Quarters in the mountain regions of Thailand before (a number of years ago). I told the locals they were edible, and they were rather surprised, thinking they were just weeds. I have yet, however, to spot them in Taiwan. I've given up looking, actually.
Blessings,
Green Cochoa.
We can receive of heaven's light only as we are willing to be emptied of self. We can discern the character of God, and accept Christ by faith, only as we consent to the bringing into captivity of every thought to the obedience of Christ. And to all who do this, the Holy Spirit is given without measure. In Christ "dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him." [Colossians 2:9, 10.] {GW 57.1} -- Ellen White.
