This is Google's quick response.

Because they quickly swell after absorbing liquid, it is advised to eat chia seeds that have already been soaked in liquid or are served with a moist food, such as oatmeal or yogurt. Do not eat dry chia seeds by themselves.

YES YES YES!!!

A friend of mine started to take chia seeds daily (for a few days) WITHOUT soaking it... To put it nicely, I'm sure he said Asher yatzar with a lot of Kavanah after........

Anyone have info on the benefits of taking daily
1.   Rich in Nutrients: They contain fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, making them a superfood for bone and heart health.
   2.   High in Antioxidants: Antioxidants in chia seeds help fight free radicals, which can slow aging and reduce the risk of various diseases.
   3.   Excellent Source of Fiber: With about 10 grams of fiber per ounce, they support digestive health, help maintain blood sugar levels, and can aid in weight management by promoting satiety.
   4.   Omega-3 Fatty Acids: They’re a plant-based source of omega-3s, which are essential for brain health, heart health, and reducing inflammation.
   5.   Supports Heart Health: Studies suggest that chia seeds may reduce risk factors for heart disease due to their omega-3 and fiber content, which can help reduce cholesterol and blood pressure.
   6.   Regulates Blood Sugar: Chia seeds can slow digestion, leading to steadier blood sugar levels and potentially reducing insulin resistance.
   7.   Hydrating: When soaked, chia seeds absorb up to 10 times their weight in water, which can help maintain hydration, especially during exercise or hot weather.
   8.   Boosts Energy and Metabolism: Some research suggests chia seeds can help improve endurance, making them a popular choice for athletes.
   9.   Gluten-Free: They’re naturally gluten-free, making them a great addition for people with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
   10.   Easy to Use: They’re versatile and can be added to smoothies, yogurts, baked goods, and salads, making it simple to incorporate them into your daily diet.
