I'm just curious, where does 4.6mg of iron in this recipe come from? Usually, the iron-packed foods are considered legumes, with lentils having about 3-4mg of iron per 100g. How come this dish is so iron-rich?

PUL Team - Feb. 12, 2024, 9:26 p.m.

Hey there, Ellen, thanks for the question. The main contributors of iron in this recipe are soy milk (around 1.1 mg iron per serving), chia seeds (around 1.8 mg iron per serving), and the vegan granola (around 1.2 mg iron per serving). The other ingredients offer smaller amounts of iron which also add to the total.

We get our average nutrition information from online databases such as the USDA. Exact values may vary depending on the brands used though. In case you're interested in learning more about iron, we have an article on the blog which lists common sources here: https://www.pickuplimes.com/a… 🤗

Ase this last night and this morning I had an amazing meal!!! Thank you Sadia.

I’m new to chia seeds. I thought it would be a pudding like consistency it was very watery. Is that how it should be?

PUL Team - July 2, 2023, 5:01 a.m.

Hey there, Diana, chia seed pudding is usually a bit creamy like pudding. If it's overly watery, it's likely that too much liquid was added or the mixture didn't soak for long enough. Being sure to stir the mixture before letting it chill in the fridge overnight can also help 🤗

Hi Sadia,

Where do you shop in The Netherlands mostly? I would be curious to see where you found the best quality ingredients.

PUL Team - Aug. 23, 2022, 5:35 p.m.

Hi Dorottya, we do a bulk of our shopping at a local store called Albert Heijn. We also enjoy going to markets and are trying to grow some of our own produce 🌱

Oh my goodness, this chia seed pudding is so delicious! I had tried so many recipes in the past, but I never really enjoyed any of them. The vanilla extract is subtle, yet it adds such a depth of flavour to the pudding! Many thanks for this chia pudding recipe and the other ones on the blog, because now I want to try them all!

PUL Team - Aug. 13, 2021, 2:07 a.m.
