      I buy Navita brand for Chia Seeds from iherb. It’s a big packet. For those who just want to try out first, I suggest you buy small portion from local shops first and if you like then get a bag from iherb.


      If you want to make Chia Gel, the formula is 1/3 cup to 2 cups filtered/distilled water. I usually make half of that portion. 1/6 cup to 1 cup water. Use a glass bottle and you add seed to water, not water to seed. Use a chopstick and stir a bit to help the mixing. After an hour, the seeds will expand and become like cooked sago. You can keep this gel for up to 7 days. You can mix it with your drink or eat it neat.


      Most of the time, I just use Chia seed as a sprinkle to my cooked dishes or salads.

        I bought my Chia seeds, at last! :rahrah:


        Got it from Four Seasons Organic Market at Great World City.
        1 Kg (big plastic jar) at $47.80, the brand is The Chia Co. Australia.

        Earlier on I saw the same brand of Chia Seeds at Rochester Market, 500 gm packet at $34.60 :yikes:

            I bought mine at NTUC. GNC also sells chia seeds.

            How much does it cost in NTUC?

              I think cheapest at iherb. I use Navita's brand for my Raw Cacao Powder and Butter too. It's quite high quality. Here's the link. Only about S$17 for 454g.

                Wow! $17 for 454g is a good deal! I saw the Navita Chia at one of the health food store at level 2 Rochester Mall selling at $34 (or was it $32...)

                Going to shop at iherb tonight 🕺 Thanks again.

                    Ha Ha Ha! Who is still buying their health food and supplement from local retail these days? We have to pay a lot more (sometime double!) buying local becaue we have to help them pay the expensive rental at shopping malls. Buy from iherb.com. Delivery is very reliable and cheap. Recently I paid only $8 for DHL Express shipping (3-4 days) for two 30oz liquid multivitamins that weighed almost 7lbs.


                    You can use code IGE789 to get USD5 to USD10 discount from your 1st time purchase. Happy shopping!

                      Your are very much welcome. But I think it is currently out of stock. You can click a button somewhere to get them to alert you when stock is replenished.
