H-E-B Organics black chia seeds are mild-tasting and adopt the flavor of whatever they're added to. Although they can be eaten raw, chia seeds are typically soaked in water or milk for up to 20 minutes. This causes them to expand and turn into a tapioca-type pudding consistency. Use the mixture as a base for fresh fruit, or stir some into oatmeal or smoothies.• Black chia seeds• USDA Organic• Mild flavor• Can be eaten raw• Usually soaked in water or milk• Expands in liquid and changes into a pudding
