Bottles:
I reused a cleaned jam jar and a small size mason jar.
Chia Seeds are:
These are tiny edible seeds from the Chia plant. The seeds are water loving which means they absorb up to 12 x’s their weight in liquid when soaked. They then develop a gel texture that is great for food or beverages.
Storage of Chia Seeds:
Remember to always store your chia seeds in the fridge. They contain an unsaturated plant based fat that can go rancid (bad). Neve leave out in the heart or sunlight after opening.
A Mango is:
A Mango has a large oval stone (or seed) in the centre of the fruit.
Ensure that the knife you are using is sharp so that it glides easily through the skin of the mango.
Then begin to cut the fruit off from the large pit in the center.
