Name: Grinding Chia Seeds
Ingredients: 2 cups whole chia seeds

When you&#39;re using chia seeds in your kitchen, grinding them first is the way to go. It creates smoother puddings, and it&#39;s more nutritious too.

Add the chia seeds to a blender. Pulse on low to begin. Gradually turn up the speed and pulse until the chia seeds are ground into a sand-like consistency.

Transfer to an airtight container. Store ground chia seeds in the fridge for up to a month or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

I never thought to grind them first.  I will have to try this.  I love the watermelon idea too.  One of my favorite flavors is chocolate peanut butter.

There's 3 categories to compare:  whole chia, whole chia that has absorbed liquid, and ground chia.  My ratio for whole seed chia pudding is yours for ground::  1/4C whole chia seeds/1C liquid.  My favorite liquid is liquified watermelon.    I'd think that whole seeds that double (or more) their size by absorbing liquid is just as good nutritionally as ground.  I never use whole seeds.   They’re unpleasant and who needs that in our teeth.
