Chia or Salba as a Gluten Free Flour Substitute
2008-04-19 06:56:00 Chia not only works as an egg substitute, but it also works as a flour substitute, which makes it ideal for people with gluten intolerance and celiac disease or people who are limiting their wheat intake for other reasons. I've seen two different methods described for using chia as a flour substitute. The first is to simply replace the flour in any recipe with equal parts chia flour or chia mixed with another gluten-free flour. The second method does not eliminate the flour altogether but reduces it by using 3 parts flour to 1 part ground chia or Salba. So, if the recipe calls for 1 cup flour you would use 3/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup chia. To make chia flour, you can grind chia in a coffee grinder or powerful blender such as the Vitamix. Now, what I'm wondering is what would happen if one replaced both the eggs and flour with chia in the same recipe ...

Chia or Salba Gel as an Egg Substitute
2008-04-19 06:01:00 Here's good news for vegans or anyone else who doesn't include eggs in their diets: chia or Salba gel can be used as an egg substitute in any recipe. To replace one egg, mix 2 tablespoons of chia with half a cup of cold water. This makes 1/4 c. of chia gel. This is a different ratio of chia to water than is used in the basic chia gel recipe. I haven't tried this yet but Alisa over at Just Baking has a delicious-looking recipe for vegan banana muffins using chia gel as an egg replacer. I'm going to try a similar recipe soon and will report back on my results!

How to Make Chia Gel or Salba Gel
2008-04-19 03:49:00 I've been experimenting with chia over the past week. It's quite a strange and interesting thing. Watching it turn into "chia gel" after letting it soak in water for half an hour is akin to watching some weird alien seeds from outer space transform into the blob. When people say it turns into a thick gel, they aren't kidding. Not that this is a bad thing. I can see now why chia will be a great tool for making healthy desserts like pudding and pies. I plan to make Chocolate Chia Pudding this weekend. To make your own chia blob, just add 9 parts water or liquid to 1 part Salba or chia seed. This is the ratio for a basic chia gel. The reason for the 9:1 ratio is that chia seed absorbs 9 times its weight in water. To make a thicker or thinner gel, just add more or less liquid. I recommend using a glass jar with a lid just because I try to avoid putting food in plastics as much as possible, especially liquids. After adding the water, place the lid on, shake it, and pl...

Chia Seed vs. Salba
2008-04-18 07:52:00 In my research into chia (Salvia hispanica) I've come across an issue that has sparked much discussion on the Internet. There seems to be some confusion and disagreement over whether chia is the same thing as Salba, a brand of white chia seed produced by a Toronto-based company of the same name. I found a website where people are discussing the issue. It's an informative read. On the site, a representative from Salba says that their brand of chia includes two registered varieties of chia that have patents pending: Sahi Alba 911 and Sahi Alba 912. She also claims that these two varieties are the only ones on which clinical studies into the health benefits of chia have been done. Now, this seems a bit dishonest. Dr. Wayne Coates of the University of Arizona is considered the world expert on chia seeds. He has done extensive research into chia and co-authored a book called Chia: Rediscovering a Forgotten Crop of the Aztecs. In one interview, Dr. Coates was asked to give ...
