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 purchase, make sure that it has an airtight seal.

Chia seeds have a long shelf life, as you would expect from, for examplepitted dates, of at least several months up to several years. Prerequisite: 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.

Nein, das ist nicht zwingend erforderlich. Du kannst Chia-Samen auch trocken in Joghurt oder Müsli streuen. In Flüssigkeit quellen sie auf und bilden eine gelartige Konsistenz. Wenn du sie als natürliche Zutat für Pudding oder zum Backen verwendest, ist das Einweichen sinnvoller, um die gewünschte Textur zu erreichen.

Yes, they are great for stirring into drinks! A popular Recipe is chia water, where you add 1-2 tbsp 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 buyFlaxseed or you opt for chia seeds, is their swelling capacity: chia seeds absorb significantly more liquid than flaxseeds and form a gel-like layer. In addition, they do not need to be crushed to release their ingredients, which is the case with linseed. The taste of chia seeds is more neutral and less intensely nutty than linseed.
