Product description Country Life Chia seeds BIO

Chia are the tiny seeds of the Hispanic sage. They have a wide range of uses in the kitchen due to their ability to bind liquid. With their natural ability to thicken, they are a desirable ingredient in baking. Vegans use chia gel as an egg substitute. Try the seeds in organic quality.

The Hispanic sage is a meter tall herb native to the mountainous regions of Central America. Chia seeds were eaten by the ancient Mayans and Aztecs more than five thousand years ago. The Aztecs are said to have even used them as currency.

Mixing them with liquid produces a chia gel that you can use in puddings, jams, smoothies and porridges. Chia can also be used in baking bread, biscuits and muffins. They have a slightly nutty taste.

• you can use not only water as a liquid, but also fruit juice, juice, vegetable drink or animal milk
• chia seed gel can be used instead of eggs
