Bayara Chia Seeds: mild, nutty seeds for chia pudding, smoothies, overnight oats and baking. Single 1 kg pack.
Chia seeds are native to Mexico and Guatemala, Bayara notes, and they have a mild, nutty flavour that suits both sweet and savoury food. Their party trick is absorbing liquid: stirred into milk or juice and left overnight, they swell into a soft, spoonable pudding. Use about three tablespoons of seeds per cup of liquid as a starting point. Bayara suggests smoothies, puddings and salads, plus baked goods such as muffins, bread, cookies and pancakes. Chia also makes a quick jam when stirred into mashed berries. Cafés use it in overnight oats, yoghurt pots and açaí bowls. A soaked spoonful mixed with water can stand in for egg in some vegan baking. Keep the pack sealed and dry. One 1 kg pack of Bayara Chia Seeds goes a long way in a busy kitchen.
