What is Chia seed and black cumin mix?
Chia seed and black cumin mix combines chia, which thickens into a gel when soaked, with the small, aromatic seeds of black cumin (Nigella). Black cumin has a warm, slightly bitter, peppery flavour; chia is much milder. Across many cuisines, the blend can be stirred into yogurt or porridge, sprinkled over salads, or mixed into bread dough. Soaking it first softens the chia and gives the mixture a thicker texture, while adding it dry keeps the seeds more noticeable.
It is a concentrated seed blend, supplying fibre, fats and plant protein; it contains 28.7 g of fibre per 100 g. A small spoonful is usually enough to add texture, and it pairs especially well with plain yogurt, oats or a lightly dressed salad.
