CHIA SEED KONNYAKU JELLY

CHIA SEED KONNYAKU JELLY

Chia Seed is high in fibre. 

It is loaded with nutrients that benefit the body.

The dietary fibre in Konnyaku stimulates and activates

the digestive system,

and so helps in excretion of waste from the body.

This Jelly is easy to prepare

and nice to eat chilled!

Do take note that Konnyaku is high in dietary fibre

so the jelly must be cut into small pieces 

for children & seniors.

The ingredients are simple:

      25g chia seed

(B) 10g konnyaku jelly powder

Method:

1. combine A and allow the chia seed to absorb the water, stir often

2. combine B and mix well

3. bring C to a boil, stir in B
