I bought a Krups fast touch grinder and found that it worked OK on
chia seeds with some caking along the sides of the grinding bowl (it
uses blades like a blender).
I found that 18 g of ground chia seeds thickened 8 oz of milk as well
as 25 g of whole seeds and sets up in less time. Some grittiness
remained but not as much as using whole seeds.
Chia seeds are a good source of ALA, an omega 3 fatty acid.
