Overview

A smoothie maker or baker gets whole organic black chia seeds in a bag from Bob's Red Mill. The description lists uses in smoothies, hot cereal, baked goods and even popcorn.

The gel-forming ability gives these seeds a role beyond sprinkling, since the description mentions puddings and jams and the specialty field names a vegetarian egg replacer. The allergen field is ambiguous, so the label needs a careful read.

Who it's for

A home cook experimenting with chia puddings, jams and egg replacement in vegetarian recipes. People managing allergies should rely on the printed label, because the allergen field on this listing is unclear.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Organic whole seeds
  • Gels in liquid for puddings
  • Gluten free and keto tags
  • Vegetarian egg replacer use
Cons
  • Allergen field is ambiguous
  • Nutrition per serving not listed

Performance notes

Chia absorbs liquid and forms a gel, which is what thickens puddings and jams and lets the seeds stand in for an egg in vegetarian recipes. Whole seeds can also go dry into smoothies, hot cereal, baked goods or popcorn, per the description.
