Chia Seeds by Nutiva — kyu's Review (Nov 5, 2022)

This massive Costco bag is the right size for a chia lover like myself! Chia deserves some #veganeasychallenge love because it’s marvelously low effort — add liquid, stir to prevent clumps, and let it do its thing. The seeds are even good unhydrated, if you enjoy crunchy textures.
I usually add them to my overnight oats to achieve the perfect thickened consistency; the gel is also a fantastic egg replacer, although I personally prefer flaxseed for baked goods. Chia provided extra binding in my banana pancakes this morning! I love a good chia pudding, too, but lately I’ve also started to wonder whether the seeds might work in a savory dish. With 3lbs in my pantry, I’m sure I’ll be able to experiment plenty.

Wow! Those pancakes look so delicious 🤤! Beautiful plate! Great way to use the chia seeds!! They do become perfectly gelatinous when soaked in liquid! Will be looking for those savory dishes!!!
