SUGGESTION
Chia seeds are mucilaginous, meaning that when they come into contact with water they release mucilage, a very beneficial gelatinous substance. Like all mucilaginous seeds, it is not possible to grow them in jars or in classic sprouters, but they must be treated as microgreens. So either terracotta sprouter or grown on soil.
