7 Chia Seed Mistakes and How to Fix Them:
Not Soaking Them Long Enough
Fix: Soak for a minimum of 4 hours to allow full hydration and avoid gritty texture.
Using the Wrong Liquid Ratio
Fix: Stick to a ratio of 1:4 (1 tbsp chia seeds to 4 tbsp liquid).
Skipping the Second Stir
Fix: Stir once after 10 minutes to prevent seeds from clumping.
Eating Them Dry
Fix: Always soak them! Dry chia can expand in your throat and cause discomfort or choking.
Not Storing Properly
Fix: Keep soaked chia in a sealed container in the fridge. Dry chia should be stored in a cool, dry pantry.
