Chia Gel

The most important recipe is the chia gel. Always keep on hand to mix in a variety of things! Chia gel can be used to replace oils in most baking recipes that call for oil or butter. It can also replace eggs in many recipes as well. It can be blended or used "as is".

How to prepare your Chia Seed Gel 

The most convenient way to prepare Chia Seeds is to firstly make a Chia Seed Gel mixture, which you then use to mix with your favorite beverage or food.
We recommend that you prepare the Chia Seed Gel in a jug that has an air tight seal, that way you can store the gel mixture in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. The following instructions relate to using a 2 Litre jug:

• Ensure the jug is completely dry before commencing.
• Add between 8 – 12 tablespoons of Chia Seeds into the dry 2 Litre jug. (8 tablespoons for first time users, after approx 2 weeks increase to 10 – 12 tablespoons
• Pour water (filtered or spring water preferred) and begin stirring the mixture immediately until the jug is full. This will avoid the seeds from “clumping” and sticking together
• Keep stirring the mixture for approx 30 – 40 seconds. The Chia Seeds will begin forming a gel mixture within a couple of minutes; stir a few more times over the next 15 minutes. The Chia Seed gel mixture is now ready to be consumed
