What's tiny but full of power? That's right, chia seeds! Known as chia seeds, they are a real superfood and surprise with their versatility. Their special powers leave no doubt about that. They can absorb many times their weight in liquid and swell by around 1,000% to form a gel-like mass, making them ideal for puddings, smoothies or yogurt. But they also develop their fine, slightly nutty taste as a crunchy ingredient in muesli, bread or salads, so it is always worth buying chia seeds.

Their insides are full of valuable nutrients. They provide plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, high-quality protein and fiber that keep you full for a long time. They have a subtle taste, blend effortlessly into any meal and provide a pleasant mouthfeel.

Another advantage of chia seeds: They require hardly any preparation and can be enjoyed at will. A small grain with a big impact that was already used by the Mayans and Aztecs and should not be missing from any modern kitchen today. A great addition if you already buy nuts.

Tip: Swollen chia seeds are a wonderful natural thickening agent in baked goods and other dough recipes. We sell chia seeds individually, in packs of 6 or 12, naturally without additives or preservatives.

What is the best way to store chia seeds?

It is best to store chia seeds in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight. Thanks to the resealable packaging, they also stay fresh for a long time. If you want to transfer the seeds to your own storage container after buying them, make sure that it has an airtight seal.

What is the shelf life of chia seeds?

Chia seeds have a long shelf life of at least several months to several years, as you would expect from pitted dates, for example. Provided you store them in a dry and airtight place. As they do not contain any moisture, they do not spoil as quickly as other foods. A good indicator of freshness is the smell. If they smell rancid, you should no longer use them. Also pay attention to the best-before date.

Do I need to soak chia seeds before eating them?

No, this is not absolutely necessary. You can also sprinkle chia seeds dry into yogurt or muesli. They swell up in liquid and form a gel-like consistency. If you are using them as a natural ingredient for puddings or baking, soaking them makes more sense to achieve the desired texture.

Can I use chia seeds for drinks?

Yes, they are wonderful to stir into drinks! A popular recipe is chia water, where you add 1-2 tablespoons of the seeds to a glass of water and leave them to soak for 10-15 minutes. You can optionally add lemon juice or fruit juice. They are also great in smoothies, as they provide a pleasant texture and additional nutrients.

How do chia seeds differ from other seeds such as linseed?

The biggest difference when you buy linseed or opt for chia seeds is their swelling capacity: chia seeds absorb significantly more liquid than linseed and form a gel-like layer. In addition, they do not need to be ground to release their ingredients, which is the case with linseed. The taste of chia seeds is more neutral and less intensely nutty than linseed.
