Chia pudding

The newest health obsession  of the moment is CHIA SEEDS. 

Chia seeds are classified as a superfood. These seeds are put in milk to make puddings, in bread, in rice crackers, crackers, in oats,stir fries, jam, cakes, salads.They are high in:

• Fiber

• Protein 

• Omega 3 fat

•  Calcium

• Manganese  

• Magnesium 

• Phosphorous 

• Zinc

• Potassium

• Vitamin B3

• Antioxidants (ferulic acid, caffeic acid, quercetin)

They are an  excellent egg replacement in baked goods,  as they absorb water and form a gel. 1 egg = 1 tbsp + 3 tbsp water
This gel is due to the the outer shell of the chia seed is made up of a water soluble mucilage, that swells up several times and acquires a gel like consistency. 
When we eat chia seeds a gel in the stomach that slows down food absorption  and that make us feel full. 
Unlike flax seeds, chia seeds can be absorbed completely by the body.
