Will the chia seeds be digested without grinding?

Hi,

It is the first time for me to make a raw Chia seed drink, I soaked it in to the water for 30 minutes, then drinked it. But, would it be digested without grinding the Chia seed before soaking it to the water?

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

Jupiter

i have read that there are many nutrients in the gel that results from soaking the seeds. i put them into the blender as part of our smoothies though, they get soaked and then ground up. best of both worlds!

Chia seed has a thin, permeable shell on it that dissolves easily during digestion.
Unlike flax seed, chia does not have to be ground to be digestible.

They're completely once soaked without any other requirements. They don't even have to be soaked, but you get more nutrients that way.
