In practice
Chia seeds are tiny and absorb up to ten times their weight in liquid, forming a gel in about 10 to 15 minutes, which is why they are used for puddings and as an egg substitute. A cup of dry seeds weighs about 170 g on this page, though recipes use tablespoons. Because of the gel, the volume changes after soaking, so measure the dry seeds before mixing. Ground chia is more digestible than whole seeds and absorbs liquid more quickly.
How to convert cups of chia seeds to grams
