Finely Ground Spices for Rich Flavor

Whole Black Chia Seeds from Spicy Pantry Chia seeds are small black seeds from the Salvia hispanica plant that swell and form a gel when soaked in liquid. Spicy Pantry chia seeds are whole and unhulled, sourced from India, and packed in a resealable pouch in 4 oz, 12 oz, 2 lb, and 5 lb sizes. What They Taste and Feel Like Dry chia is crisp and nearly flavorless, with a faint nutty finish. Once soaked, each seed picks up a clear coating and the mix thickens into a soft, tapioca-like texture. Because the flavor is so neutral, chia takes on whatever you put it in — cocoa, vanilla, mango, coffee, lemon. How to Use Them Chia pudding: 3 tbsp seeds to 1 cup milk, stir, rest 15 minutes, stir again, chill overnight. Egg replacement in baking: 1 tbsp seeds plus 3 tbsp water, rest 10 minutes, use as one egg in quick breads and cookies. Smoothies and bowls: Blend in dry, or sprinkle on top for crunch. Jam and sauce thickener: Stir 1–2 tbsp into warm fruit and let it set as it cools. Doughs and batters: Fold whole seeds into bread, muffin, and cracker doughs for speckled texture.
