Good to Know
Black and white chia seeds carry the same macros, so pick whichever you find cheaper, often a bag from Bob's Red Mill or Nutiva. Two tablespoons absorb roughly 10 times their weight in liquid, which is why a single ounce thickens a whole jar of pudding overnight. Pre-mixed chia drinks and flavored pouches are where sugar sneaks in, sometimes adding 8 to 12 grams per bottle, so plain seeds give you the most control.
