Chia seeds Products

Chia seeds are very absorbent and develop a gelatinous texture when soaked in water making it easy to mix them into cooked cereal or other dishes. They can be eaten raw or incorporated in the diet to reap the positive benefits, including:

  • Making a chia gel by adding a tablespoon in a glass of warm/hot water, cover for 5-10 minutes and drink on an empty stomach.
  • Adding a tablespoonful to the smoothie for protein and fat boost.
  • Sprinkling the seeds on your cereal, rice, yogurt or vegetables.
  • Adding to baked goods.
  • Using as an egg substitute in baking: Add a tablespoon of ground chia with 3 tablespoons of water, per egg in a recipe.
  • Mixing with flour and seasoning when making a breaded fish, chicken or veggie dish, for that wonderful nutty flavor and crunch.
