Chia Seeds

What Chia Seeds is

Chia is a small speckled seed that gels when it meets water. In Pakistan it is often searched as a slimming food. The seed itself is just a seed: fibre, fat and a mild taste.

How people in Pakistan use it

Stir a spoon into water, milk or yoghurt and wait until it swells. Fold soaked seeds into lassi, overnight oats or roti dough. Drink water with them. Dry spoonfuls are unpleasant and easy to overdo.

Choosing a pack

100 g is a trial pack. 200 g is a regular kitchen jar. 1 kg is for a household that already eats them most days. Pick the weight on the product page; the price changes with it.

A plain caution

Chia is food. It does not burn fat. People with swallowing trouble should only eat it fully soaked. If a clinician has limited your fibre, ask them first.
