Roots of a low cyanide cassava variety (MH95/083) were obtained from Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) Kakamega County, Kenya and chia seeds (black) were obtained from Momentum Trust Siaya County, Kenya. Cassava roots were processed into High Quality Cassava Flour (HQCF). The fresh cassava roots were weighed, peeled manually using stainless knife, washed with portable water grated to slurry/mash, dewatered and the cake pulverized andsubjected to sun drying for 3 days to attain 8–10% moisture level. After drying, the grits were milled using diesel hammer mill (SG 40 with a motor of 7.5 Kw) to obtain 2.0 mm particle size flour and packed in airtight packets. Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica L.) were cleaned manuallyby removing foreign matter such as stones, dirt and broken seeds using a 0.075 mm sieve and milled in the same manner as cassava grits then packaged in clean gunny bags for extrusion processing
