Chia seeds

Our Seeberger chia seeds impress with their high quality and purity. They come from strictly controlled cultivation areas and are processed without additives or artificial preservatives. Thanks to the gentle processing, the natural properties of the seeds are retained. The packaging also ensures long-lasting freshness so that you always have high-quality seeds to hand.

The little seeds are incredibly versatile and can be used in many of your favorite recipes.

You can:

• Soak in liquid and enjoy as a chia pudding
• Mix them into smoothies, yoghurt or muesli for an extra portion of fiber
• Use as an egg substitute in baking - simply mix 1 tbsp of chia seeds with 3 tbsp of water and leave to swell
• Sprinkle over salads or bowls for an extra crunch
• Incorporate into bread and pastry dough to add a nutty note

It is best to store chia seeds in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight. Thanks to the resealable packaging, they also stay fresh for a long time. If you want to transfer the seeds to your own storage container after buying them, make sure that it has an airtight seal.

Chia seeds have a long shelf life of at least several months to several years, as you would expect from pitted dates, for example. Provided you store them in a dry and airtight place. As they do not contain any moisture, they do not spoil as quickly as other foods. A good indicator of freshness is the smell. If they smell rancid, you should no longer use them. Also pay attention to the best-before date.

No, this is not absolutely necessary. You can also sprinkle chia seeds dry into yogurt or muesli. They swell up in liquid and form a gel-like consistency. If you are using them as a natural ingredient for puddings or baking, soaking them makes more sense to achieve the desired texture.

Yes, they are wonderful to stir into drinks! A popular recipe is chia water, where you add 1-2 tablespoons of the seeds to a glass of water and leave them to soak for 10-15 minutes. You can optionally add lemon juice or fruit juice. They are also great in smoothies, as they provide a pleasant texture and additional nutrients.

The biggest difference when you buy linseed or opt for chia seeds is their swelling capacity: chia seeds absorb significantly more liquid than linseed and form a gel-like layer. In addition, they do not need to be ground to release their ingredients, which is the case with linseed. The taste of chia seeds is more neutral and less intensely nutty than linseed.
