Chia seeds are generally used either as a binding agent like what eggs bring to non-vegan recipes or they can be used to add nutrients to make a recipe healthier.

Replacing Chia Seeds as a Binder

Chia seeds are often used as a gel or binder in recipes like overnight oats, chia pudding, or as an egg replacement in vegan baking.

• Насенне базіліка: Basil seeds can be used in the same amount as chia seeds, providing a similar result and taste.
• Ільняная мука: Flaxmeal, but not whole flaxseeds, can be used if the purpose is to form a gel. The seeds need to be ground, unlike chia seeds that work whole. Replace the chia with the same amount of flaxmeal. Note that flaxmeal has a slightly more bitter taste and can be very slippery if used in unbaked recipes.
• Псіліум шалупіны: If you’re swapping a chia egg (1 tbsp chia seed + 3 tbsp water), you can use pure husk or flaxmeal instead. It’s tasteless, colorless, but can be rubbery in no-bake food and hard to swallow.
• Arrowroot Powder or Tapioca Starch: These can be used in the same amount as chia seeds. They have similar properties to cornstarch.
• Кукурузны крухмал: Cornstarch needs to be dissolved in cold water and then thickens with heat, while chia seeds activate faster when soaked in lukewarm water and don’t need heat to thicken.
• Xanthan Gum or Guar Gum: These are suitable for liquid recipes. Use 1/4 teaspoon to replace 1 tablespoon of chia seeds.

Replacing Chia Seeds for Nutritional Benefits

Chia seeds are often used to add health benefits like in protein balls or smoothies.

• каноплі насенне: Hemp seeds also add proteins and healthy fats but won’t add bulk to a smoothie or liquid.
• авёс: Oats are a great thickener in smoothies, but you need to use three times more.
• гарбузовыя семечкі: Pumpkin seeds add a green color and healthy fats but don’t add bulk.
• Насенне сланечніка: Sunflower seeds don’t add bulk or color and are tasteless.
• Зярняткі маку: Poppy seeds are the same size and add some crunch like chia seeds but have a lower nutrition profile.
• Насенне кунжуту: Sesame seeds are the same size and add the same texture as chia seeds.
