Bought some chia seeds, thinking of throwing them in my oatmeal in the morning. Can I just throw them in raw? Or am I supposed to cook them? (or do something else with them)

I regularly mix them into oatmeal. You just need to add some extra water because they soak up a lot. Maybe an eighth of a cup of water for a 12g serving of chia seeds (sorry for the mixed units)
do you throw them straight into the oatmeal, or soak them beforehand?
Straight in. I mix them with the dry oats sometimes. They soften very quickly.
