Chia seeds are a highly versatile and nutritious ingredient that can be added to many different dishes. They have little to no distinctive flavor, so they won’t compete with other flavors in a dish. You can add them to cereals, crackers, beverages, breads, and other baked goods to boost their nutritional value. Basically, as long as there is moisture present, you can add chia seeds.
Here are some suggestions
- Try sprinkling a few teaspoons into your breakfast cereal, salads, soups, or stews
- You can also stir chia seeds into salad dressings, sauces, marinades, or cake/muffin/bread batter.
- Chia gel can also be used as a natural thickener - simply add it to smoothies, puddings, and soups after they are prepped or cooked.
