Among the claims for chia:

It's a good source for the omega 3 fatty acid (ALA). I am not sure
that the other nutrients are significant for the cost or calories
consumed.

As for taste, chia seeds are bland, not as nutty as flaxseeds. And
because they are water-soluble, they don't need to be ground up, as
flaxseed must.

Grinding them in a coffee mill helps them assimilate water faster with
less gritiness. I use 1 g of chia per 1 oz of milk when making a
chocolate shake. (the chia acts like a thickener).

Chia doesn't come cheap, though. At the Davis Co-op, chia seeds sold
for $21.95 a pound, compared with $1.65 a pound for flaxseed.

http://www.chiaseedandoil.com is considerably less expensive.
