When I first tried, I picked fresh chia seeds from a trusted store , Good seeds grow faster and healthier
Soak the Seeds First

I soaked the chia seeds in a little water for a few hours. They became a little jelly-like — this helps them stick and sprout easily.
Choose a Shallow Pot or Tray

I used a shallow pot with small holes for drainage.Chia roots don't need deep soil — they grow best close to the surface
Use Light, Moist Soil

I filled the pot with soft, moist soil.Not too wet, not too dry — just enough to feel slightly damp.
Spread Seeds Gently

I spread the soaked seeds gently over the top of the soil.No need to cover them — chia loves the light to sprout
Keep it Moist & Wait

Every day, I misted the seeds lightly with water.In just 3–5 days, tiny green sprouts started to pop out — so exciting to see
Harvest and Enjoy

When the chia sprouts got about 2–3 inches tall, I gently cut them with scissors.Fresh, healthy, and ready to eat in salads, smoothies, or just as a snack
