Nature First Chia Seeds Black 125g

Tiny black seeds with a mild flavour and a gentle crunch eaten dry, or soaked into a soft gel once they've had time to absorb liquid. That gel-forming trick is what makes them useful for thickening a smoothie, building a chia pudding, or standing in for egg in baking — a tablespoon of chia with three tablespoons of water makes one vegan egg substitute.

Black chia seeds are the only ingredient, naturally high in fibre and plant-based omega-3s. Sprinkle them dry over salads, yoghurt or breakfast bowls, or soak them for pudding and baking. They're packed in Australia, vegan and gluten-free.

Ingredients

100% black chia seeds.

Directions

Add 1–2 tablespoons to smoothies, oats, yoghurt or salads. To make chia gel: mix seeds with liquid and let stand for 10–15 minutes until thickened. Use in baking or as a vegan egg alternative by combining 1 tablespoon chia with 3 tablespoons water.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place. Reseal firmly after opening to maintain freshness.

Warnings

Consume with adequate fluids. Introduce slowly if you are new to high-fibre foods. Keep out of reach of children.
