Whole chia seeds in a 100g pack. One ingredient, nothing added.
What’s in them
- Fibre — a substantial amount per tablespoon.
- Omega-3 fatty acids as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).
- Plant protein, calcium and magnesium.
The useful thing about chia
Chia seeds absorb roughly ten times their weight in liquid and turn gelatinous. That is either the point or the problem, depending on what you are making — brilliant for puddings, less pleasant if you leave them sitting in a glass of water and forget about them.
How to use them
- Chia pudding. Three tablespoons in a cup of milk, left in the fridge overnight.
- Smoothies. A tablespoon, blended in.
- Yoghurt and oats. Sprinkled on, no soaking needed.
- Baking. Works as an egg substitute like flax — one tablespoon with three of water.
A practical note
Drink water alongside them. Because they absorb so much liquid, taking a large dry spoonful without fluid is uncomfortable.
