Chia Seeds As Egg Replacer



Did you know that you can use chia seeds to replace eggs in a recipe? 
You can make a "chia seed egg" !.

These simple egg substitutes are perfect if are allergic to eggs or if you are vegan. Chia seeds can be a healthy replacement for eggs in most baked products like muffins, cakes, and cookies.
Chia seeds add very little taste to the finished product, but they do the job of the egg and also add a powerhouse of nutrients to the recipe.
    These little seeds become gel like when they are in liquid, making them a perfect base for chia pudding recipes and a perfect egg replacer in baking recipes. 

    Here is the formula per egg. If your recipe calls for 2 eggs, double the recipe.



    According to nutritional charts, chia seeds are nutritional powerhouses. 
    They have: 
    • 7 times the Omega 3 per ounce of an ounce of salmon. 
    • They have more protein than any other seed
    • Provide as much calcium as milk per ounce.
    • Are a complete protein. 
    • In addition, they contain boron for healthy bones and significant amounts of B vitamins. 
    • The nutritional information was certainly a surprise! However, ounce per ounce we probably eat much smaller amounts of chia seeds than the other foods.

    It sounds like they are worth adding to your diet especially if you are gluten free and have greater difficulty absorbing nutrients.  Even if you use eggs, you can still add chia seeds to most baked recipes.

    My Notes: 
    I've tried using chia seed egg replacer in my recipes that call for up to 2 eggs. It may work, but I haven't tried a recipe that calls for like 5 or 6 eggs. It's great to remember if you ever are out of eggs!

    Have you used a chia egg in your recipes?
    What was  your experience? 
    Do you grind the chia seeds first? Please leave a comment..

    What is Pterygium and Pinguecula ?

    [Extracted from the webpage of www.healthscout.com] A pterygium is a fleshy growth that invades the cornea (the clear front window of the eye). It is an abnormal process in which the conjunctiva (a membrane that covers the white of the eye) grows into the cornea. A pinguecula is a yellowish patch or bump on the white of the eye, most often on the side closest to the nose. It is not a tumor but an alteration of normal tissue resulting in a deposit of protein and fat. Unlike a pterygium, a pinguecula does not actually grow onto the cornea. A pinguecula may also be a response to chronic eye irritation or sunlight. Although pterygium and pinguecula sound like mysterious, arcane diseases, they are actually quite common, usually benign eye conditions. These lesions appear as a whitish-yellowish bump or fleshy "growth" on the exposed conjunctiva. If the bump appears only on the white part of the eye, it is called a pinguecula. If it appears to "grow" onto t...

    Walking Through The Fancy Animal Carnival In NYC

    I went to visit my kids in NYC last week and on my walk from the train to their place I passed through the famous Garment District- It was raining, but I managed to get a few photos of some of the new sculptures in the " Fancy Animal Carnival " by Taiwanese artist Hung Yi. I don't usually share my outings, but with so many visiting NYC over the holidays, I thought these might be of interest. Garment District Free Art Show through April 2016 The Carnival , which starts around 41st street and ends on 37th street, features eleven large to life whimsical statues each symbolic of bringing luck!  The statues are extremely colorful and big!!
