Chia goo...

[Gribouille]

I wanted to be creative in my sprouted seeds and just threw every seed I found in the soaking pot... Chia and flax were in the lot, so now instead of wet seeds I have some sort of slimy water repellent gruel filling every little hole of my sprouting set so the water stays on top too so I can't even rinse them...
Obviously I won't get sprouts from that batch, I was thinking of cooking them to oatmeal, or maybe birdy bread. Except that my birds don't eat that.
Any idea what I could do this it?

I've made this mistake before!! So annoyed with myself lol.

Like you said, oatmeal and birdy bread are easiest. You could also use it as a "butter" on some bread or crackers.

as butter... is that good? It is quite wet, wouldn't it turn the bread/cracker soggy?
Maybe I should bake a birdy bread for the wild birds, they are so picky Any other seed I should beware of? I mean, they all have that same innocent seed look when you start, right?

As far I'm aware, the following are mucilaginous:

Chia
Flax
Arugula
Mustard
Basil
Cress

Yes it will soak into the bread a little.. I don't eat it but my green cheek and Quaker at the time devoured it!

I tried to give some to the birds this morning but I'm afraid it'll spoil quite fast as I can't rinse it . Mucilaginous.. wow.. you know big words! I don't think I'm gonna remember this one anytime soon!!

I only want to tell you that you can't sprout chia seeds.

Haven't you ever heard of chia pudding?
I guess not...

Forgot to mention.
Some bird's love chia pudding, so don't throw it, let them try it first.

WHAT?? Can't sprout them?? Well, I guess I noticed that part by myself actually although they should sprout if they are to make new plants?! What are seeds for if they don't make new plants...? Anyway, never heard of chia pudding, this forum is a source of never-ending knowledge and amazement!

Anyway.. it's too late now, let me introduce... TADA!!! ... the Goo-muffins!!!






Recipe: Goo + 1 egg + some flour. The crows will love them if my birdies are too picky!

They can't sprout in the traditional way. Remember chia pets, how you spread them on the terracotta? That way works. Otherwise a plate, a wet paper towel, and mist them seems to work.

I have no idea what you're talking about...

I might try that next time!
