What do you do with them? I have some in the cupboard and have no clue.

Stir them into porridge / oats / muesli / yoghurt etc.

Sprinkle them over fruit / salads / veg / grains / pulses etc.

They go kind of jelly-ish if you soak them, so you can make chia pudding by adding milk (cow, soya, almond or whatever) or water (plus something else for flavour) and leaving them overnight. It's just occurred to me that stewed fruit might be good for this too, with a bit of yoghurt or something stirred in.
