** Chia Seeds expand to 3-4 times their original volume. To hydrate Chia Seeds, place 6 level tablespoons of dry Chia Seeds in a 3 or 4 cup glass container, with a lid (the glass eliminates potential of plastic molecules getting into food), and add 2 cups filtered water. Stores in refrigerator for several days. Can be added to many different foods for added moisture and texture. Try adding several tablespoons to cake batter, for extra moisture, or soup for thickening, texture and added nutrition. Flavor will not be affected by Chia Seeds.
