Did you know?
Chia seeds come from the plant Salvia hispanica L., and were at one time a major food crop in Mexico and Guatemala. Cultivated as a food source as early as 3500 BC, it was offered to Aztec gods in religious ceremonies. Chia seeds come in black and white varieties, but there is no difference in nutritional content. The health benefits are endless: they are loaded with antioxidants, and they are also a good source of minerals, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids. These nutrients play a role in supporting multiple body functions and systems.
After adding milk to the chia seeds, stir well, until all the chia seeds have been distributed evenly into the milk. There shouldn’t be any clumps left. Wait about 10 minutes and give it one more last stir. If you notice your chia seeds aren’t starting to gel and thicken after 15 minutes, you may have dud chia seeds. This can happen in they’ve been sitting in your pantry a while. Just grab a new bag of chia seeds. You can always add more milk for a thinner texture, if you feel your chia pudding is a bit too thick.
