Quality Chia Seeds Are Black or White

How To Make Chia Gel For Cooking

If you mix the seeds with water or any other liquid they soak it up to form a gel around each seed. The seeds can absorb up to around 9 times their volume in liquid. To make the gel use 9 parts of water/liquid for 1 part of seeds. If you start with an ounce of seeds you will get 9 ounces of gel.

The gel forms in five to ten minutes. If you whisk it a couple of times as it forms it will be nice and smooth. It can be stored for up to two weeks in a sealed container in the fridge. For best results allow 15 minutes for the gel to form.

Cooking With Chia

Adding Chia to your recipes and meals is simple.

The gel does not dilute the flavor of food, in fact some people find that it improves the flavor, but it does displace some of the calories and fills you up and digests slowly, so it is really great for losing weight while maintaining energy. “Chia” is actually the Mayan word for strength

• Experiment with mixing in up to 75% gel into non cooked foods like smoothies, mustard and salad dressings.
• Use chia gel to replace half of the butter or other shortening/fat in your baking recipes.
• Add the gel to your porridge oats or use the dry seeds mixed with oats to create a power packed porridge breakfast.
• Sprinkle the dry seeds onto salads or put them in your muslie.
• Try grinding the seeds in a coffee grinder to make flour that can be used to thicken soups or smoothies or even to replace some of the wheat flour in breads.
• Use the dry seeds to thicken sauces and soups - if used dry they will absorb the liquid making it thicker.
• Soak the seeds in fruit juices to make a gel desert
• Soak them 1 part seeds to 3 parts water and use them to substitute eggs in recipes where the eggs do not need to be beaten such as cornbread or custard.
