About Chia oil
Chia oil is oil pressed or extracted from chia seeds, used as a food ingredient or dressing. It is distinct from whole chia seeds and does not have their ability to form a gel when soaked.
The oil is liquid and typically pale yellow to golden, with a mild seed-like flavour. It may be sold as a culinary oil or in other formulations; extraction and refining can affect its color, taste, and composition.
