In the press
How chia seed acts in the juicer.
- Yield
- Very low
- Chia Seed is better treated as a small add-in than a main juice yield source.
- Difficulty
- Add after pressing
- Measure lightly and stir into the finished bottle if it is not meant for the press.
- Texture
- Depends on amount
- Can change thickness or texture more than fresh produce.
- Foam
- Not pressed
- Not a juicer foam issue; shake gently if it settles.
- Watch for
- Texture change
- Chia Seed can make a bottle feel heavier if overused.
- Best order
- Stir in after juicing
- Add chia seed after juicing unless your juicer manual says it can be pressed.
Choose · store · prep
Get it ready before the press.
Choose
- Whole seeds with no powdery dust.
- Sealed packaging within its best-by date.
- Avoid rancid or fishy smell.
Store
- Store dry seeds in a sealed pantry container.
Prep
- Stir into finished juice and let hydrate briefly.
- Don't put seeds through the juicer — stir into finished juice and let sit 5-10 minutes to hydrate into a soft pudding-like texture.
