💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Blend chia seeds for 3-5 minutes continuously to break down the outer hull and activate mucilage formation, which creates the pudding texture through gel formation at a 1:10 ratio with liquid.technique3-5 minutes, 1:10 ratio
- ✓Use a liquid-to-chia ratio of 8:1 to 10:1 for proper gel formation - too little liquid results in a gummy texture while too much prevents proper thickening.ingredient8:1 to 10:1 ratio
