Chia Seeds - Quick Reference
What is it?: Whole chia seeds, small oil-rich seeds valued for their ability to absorb liquid and form a gel.
Flavour: Very mild and neutral, with a faint nutty note.
Common uses: Puddings, overnight oats, smoothies, bread, crackers, granola and egg-free baking.
How to use: Use dry as a topping or soak in liquid; allow time for the seeds to swell and thicken.
Compare with: Unlike most culinary seeds, chia forms a gel when hydrated, while remaining mild enough for sweet or savoury dishes.
Substitute: Ground flaxseed can thicken and bind in baking, though its flavour and texture are different.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep sealed to protect the aroma and flavour.
Good to know: Chia can absorb many times its own weight in liquid, which is why it thickens puddings and can help bind baking mixtures.
