Ways to use chia seeds
Chia seeds absorb liquid and form a gel, which makes them useful for overnight oats, chia pudding, smoothies, and as a binder in baking. They can also be sprinkled dry onto yogurt, salads, and cereal. For pudding or porridge, combine one part chia seeds with four parts liquid and refrigerate overnight.
How to store chia seeds
Keep chia seeds in a sealed container in a cool, dry place. They stay fresh for a year or more when properly sealed. Refrigerating after opening extends shelf life further.

How do I make chia pudding?
Combine three tablespoons of chia seeds with one cup of liquid (water, juice, or a dairy-free alternative). Stir well, let sit for five minutes, stir again, then refrigerate overnight or for at least two hours. The seeds will absorb the liquid and form a thick pudding texture.
Can chia seeds be eaten raw without soaking?
Yes. Chia seeds can be sprinkled dry onto food or eaten as-is. Soaking them first makes them easier to digest for some people and changes the texture from crunchy to gel-like.
