Omega Chia Seed: chia seeds for overnight pudding, smoothies and vegan baking. Single 1 kg pack.
Chia seeds are the edible seeds of Salvia hispanica, a plant of the mint family native to central and southern Mexico. The tiny oval seeds are grey with black and white spots, about 1 to 2 mm across. When mixed with liquid they absorb it and form a soft gel, which makes them perfect for chia pudding: stir three tablespoons into a cup of milk, leave overnight and top with fruit. They also thicken smoothies and jams, act as an egg replacement in vegan baking when mixed with water, and add crunch sprinkled on yoghurt, salads and porridge. Keep chia seeds in a sealed container in a cool, dry place away from humidity. Chia seeds also make a quick jam when stirred into mashed berries and left to set for about 15 minutes.
