Chia Seeds
Chia seeds are tiny but mighty liquid absorbers (up to 10x their weight). Because they are so small, they pack densely. Inaccurate volume measurement can turn your chia pudding from a delightful cream into a solid brick or a runny soup. Weighing guarantees the perfect gelling ratio.

How this conversion works
Milliliters measure volume while grams measure weight. Because Chia Seeds has a density of 0.59 g/mL, 10 mL weighs 6 g — not 10 g as it would for water. This converter uses the real density of Chia Seeds so every measurement is accurate.
Measurement notes
Values are rounded to the nearest whole gram. Actual weight can vary slightly with compaction, temperature, and brand. For precision baking, a kitchen scale is always more reliable than volume measurements.
