Substitution chart?

spitfiredd

As you all know there can be alot of exotic and rare ingredients in some raw food dishes I was wondering if there is there some kind of substitution chart some some ingredients?

Like I was looking at a recipe and think man that sounds good I have all that at home expect 1/2 Cup of chia seeds, wth I don't want to go to the store again!

This isn't really a chart, but I've written out a few of my favourite substitutions. It might help.

I don't think there's a good substitution for chia seeds. They are really unique. They become gelatinous, kind of like tapioca. I would suggest that you keep them on hand. I love them and I use them frequently. My husband loves my vanilla almond chia seed pudding.

Anyone got a suggestion for substituting for young coconut meat? I can't get it at all.

Depends on what you are making. Mostly, raw cashews work well, but I can't find or afford either half the time. :-/ Try looking in ethnic stores sometimes they carry them.
