WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

  • The portion size determines how much carbohydrate and energy this ingredient contributes.
  • The displayed net carbohydrate is total carbohydrate minus fiber from the same source.
  • Other recipe ingredients add their own nutrients; adding fat does not subtract carbohydrate.

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

MEASURE BEFORE HYDRATING

Weigh the dried seeds first, then follow a tested preparation or package directions for incorporating them into food. Count all liquids and other ingredients.

ADD TO A BOWL OR SALAD

Use properly hydrated chia in a bowl, and count the seeds, soaking liquid, yogurt, fruit and other additions in the full recipe.

USE A TESTED RECIPE

For baking or coatings, use a tested method and record ingredient amounts, discarded material and finished yield. This raw or dried panel is not a finished-recipe calculation.
