Chia seeds

Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica) are small black and white seeds originating from Central America. They have an almost neutral flavor and exceptional water-binding ability — the seeds absorb up to ten times their weight in water and form a gel-like texture that keeps food moist.

Usage

• Breakfast — add 1–2 tbsp of seeds to yogurt, porridge, or smoothies and let stand for 10–15 minutes.
• Baking — as an egg substitute: 1 tbsp seeds + 3 tbsp water equals about one egg.
• Sauces and marinades — thicken without adding starch.
• Vegetarian and gluten-free cooking — a source of fiber, protein, and omega-3.
