Chia Seeds
Organic
Bolivia
Chia seeds have been consumed for approximately 5000 years. The Mayans and Aztecs were the first to cultivate this pseudo-grain. Doused with water, the seeds absorb 10 to 12 times their own weight in liquid and are considered to be a superfood due to their nutrient content.
Use & preparation
To make a chia pudding, combine the seeds with a liquid of your choice (such as nut milk) at a 1:6 ratio. Set aside and chill for at least 1 hour. Add fruit or jam if desired.
When baking cookies or muffins or making pancakes, you can use chia "eggs" to replace any eggs in the recipe. 1 chia egg is equal to 1 regular egg. To make the chia egg, combine 1 tablespoon of chia seeds with 2.5 tablespoons of water and allow to thicken for 5 minutes.
