Customer question:
How to enjoy chia seeds? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Chia seeds can be easily prepared with water and create a nutritious and refreshing drink. Note that the chia seeds will continue to absorb the liquid over time, so if the mixture seems too thick, add a little more water and stir. Chia water is a healthy and refreshing drink that contains a lot of fiber and ideally helps to maintain hydration.
Here is an easy way to make chia water:
Ingredients:
- Two tablespoons of chia seeds
- 1 cup of water
Instructions:
Start by measuring two tablespoons of chia seeds; you can adjust the amount according to your preferences. Add the chia seeds to a glass or small bowl. Then, pour 1 cup of water (cold, warm, or room temperature). Mix the chia seeds and water thoroughly with a spoon or whisk. Ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed in the water to prevent clumping.
Leave the chia seeds in the water for about 5 minutes. During this time, they will start to absorb water and swell. After this initial wait, stir the mixture to prevent lumps from forming. You can customize your chia water by adding a dash of flavor. Add a splash of lemon or lime juice, honey or maple syrup for sweetness, or a slice of fresh fruit for extra flavor.
How many tablespoons of chia seeds can be added to 500 ml of water?
A typical ratio for making chia water is 1 to 2 tablespoons of chia seeds per 250 ml. You can use about 2 to 4 tablespoons of chia seeds per 500 ml of water. Adjust the amount of chia seeds to your preferred density, but this should be a good starting point for making chia water.
