Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are chia seeds the same as sabja (basil) seeds?
A: No. They look alike and both swell in liquid, but chia comes from a different plant, is slightly larger and takes a bit longer to gel. Many cooks still use them interchangeably in falooda and drinks.
Q: How long do chia seeds need to soak?
A: About 15 to 20 minutes produces a light gel for drinks, while soaking overnight in the refrigerator gives a thick pudding.
Q: How should I store the pack after opening?
A: Reseal it tightly or move the seeds to an airtight jar and keep them in a cool, dry place. Follow the best-by date on the pack.
