Organic Black Chia Seeds 89p/100g

From £0.89

Quantity

These low-calorie seeds are a powerhouse of nutrients and packed full of protein and fibre. They can be added to smoothies and oats or used to create chia pudding and chia egg which are great for vegan baking.

Chia seeds can be used as a natural binding agent, they can be used wherever a regular egg is used as a like-for-like replacement. It works by helping to bind the ingredients together within the recipe - perfect for muffins, cupcakes and cakes.
Chia seeds are very flexible and can be eaten in a variety of ways:

Sprouted
Whole/crushed – add to any food (hot or cold) for texture, sprinkle on salads or cereal. They can also be used in baking or as a thickening agent. Crushed seeds will release the most Omega3.
Chia Gel – chia seeds can be combined with water (or any liquid) to produce a gel-like consistency. This can be eaten/drunk as it is, or added to foods. Smoothies can be made with 50-70% chia gel or added to any creamy/liquid foods (puddings, dressings, jelly etc).
To use as a thickening agent when you’re cooking, start with 1-2 tablespoons of whole seeds and stir thoroughly. Then turn down the heat and wait for a couple of minutes to the chia to take effect.

How to make Chia gel:

Use 1 part seeds and 9 parts water.
Put the water in a clean container and slowly stir in the seeds.
Wait 5 min then stir again.
Wait 10 min then stir for the last time.
The gel lasts up to 14 days in the fridge.
