Lotus Chia Seeds White 125g

Lotus Chia Seeds White 125g is a small pack of chia seeds for puddings, baking and meal toppings. It suits cooks who want to use whole white chia seeds in a recipe or add a measured portion to smoothies, cereal or oats.

Chia seeds absorb liquid and form a gel, which is useful in recipes written for chia puddings or for chia as a binding ingredient. The white seed colour is a product choice, while the amount of liquid and standing time should come from the recipe. They can also be sprinkled over a salad.

Use a chia recipe to decide the liquid amount and preparation time. A pudding needs time for the seeds to absorb liquid and form its intended consistency, while a smoothie or a topping uses the seeds differently. If a baking recipe names chia as a binder, follow that recipe rather than exchanging ingredients without adjusting the method. Whole seeds are a different starting format from a ground chia mixture. You can also keep them for meals where a visible seed topping is wanted.

The 125g pack is suited to smaller recipe batches and occasional topping use. It takes little pantry space and is a useful size when deciding whether white chia is the format you want to keep alongside other seeds.

Keep the white chia seeds in a cool, dry place, with the pack closed between uses. Use a clean, dry measure when taking the amount for a recipe, and keep dry ingredients separate from prepared food. Product of Australia. Retain the ingredient and allergen information with the pack when cooking for someone with a specific dietary requirement.
