Guest guest Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I could use some pointers, too! I recently added chia seeds to fermented tea and they did not absorb any of the liquid...not even after a week! Then I read where the seeds reportedly absorb up to 12x their size in water, so I tried that. So after sitting in 2 cups of water for half a day, a scoop of seeds finally expanded some and formed a gelatinous liquid so as to be suspended. I also tried grinding them with a mortal and pestal, with little success; very labor intensive! Further experimentation on hold....while I await expertise advice. > > Has anyone used chia seeds in there kombucha if yes how and when do > you add?

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Yeah, chias are awesome! I've notice you gotta stir them frequently, or they can kinda gel together into clumps. Doesn't affect the taste, it's just a nicer feel when they are consistent texture. You do have to get used to the texture, but chia is such a super food. It really goes great with the booch! - Woody Subject: Re: chia seeds To: " original_kombucha " <original_kombucha > Date: Tuesday, March 13, 2012, 5:02 PM Yes, all the time! I just put them in my cup and add the Kombucha te. They get soft in a few minutes. I highly recommend adding them for all of the fabulous nutrients they have..

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I think it is not good idea to ingest chia seeds with liquid that is based on fermentation. Because this way unsatuarated fats that are unstable could oxidize, don't you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
