I'm curious how it would work as an egg replacer since it seems to be kinda similar to flaxseed, though flaxseed just plumps up with water. I don't know a lot of vegan chefs cooking with the chia yet.<br /><br />I'm also curious about this "chia fresca" drink from Mexico and Central America. Chia fresca: mix seeds in water and add lime or lemon juice and sugar.

It makes me think of the tapioca balls in boba drinks (except I have never had one). They are kind of fun and nutritious :)ladytickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07453295582495373736noreply@blogger.com
