Cooking with chia seeds
Cooking with chia seeds is easier than it sounds. You do not have to reinvent the wheel or throw out everything you ever knew about cooking.
How to cook chia seeds
- Simply add chia seeds to whatever you are cooking. A tablespoon or two is usually enough for a meal that serves four.
- Use ready-prepared chia gel in your cooking if you want to add bulk or body to sauces, stews, soups and gravies. Just make your chia gel ahead of time, store it in the fridge, and dollop out a couple of spoons when you need it.
- Don’t stress about exact quantities. Chia is not a miracle pill, nor does it have negative side effects. It really doesn’t matter if you consume 1 tablespoon one day and 3 tablespoons the next day. Just incorporate it into your cooking in the way that suits your cooking style and families needs. It is meant to be fun not a chore!
- Don’t worry about using special chia recipes; just tweak your family’s favorite recipes to include chia. Easy! (But if you do want some inspiration, here are some chia recipes for you)
- Raw chia seeds can be a great topping for a salad, casserole, or fruit salad.
