Enjoy Me...
- Did you know that when soaked in liquid chia seeds soften and swell, absorbing up to 30 times their weight in water! A great and nutritious thickener...soups, gravies & smoothies, just to name a few
How Interesting...
- Chia seeds have a well-known ability to form a gel when soaked in water or other liquid. The outer shell of chia seeds are covered in microscopic hair-like fibres. These fibres attract and trap water, forming a loose gel with up to nine times the original volume of the chia seeds. Their unique ability to become gelatinous when soaked in liquid aids digestion and slows the absorption of nutrients while also creating new way to create texture in recipes.
