Where are these chia seeds from, where were they grown?

I have already thrown away the bag in which they came and stored them in my own Zip lock bag in the freezer. I'm sure you could get information on line, however, I believe they were from Mexico.

Hello Jackie! the one I bought maybe five weeks ago is from Mexico.On the package it states that it's manufactured by Mexican Trading Development. It's also a 6lb package with Made in Mexico written above the weight of the bag. Hope this is helpful.

Healthworks chia seeds are usually from Mexico, Argentina or South America in those regions. We're always looking for high quality products at low prices so we can pass this along to our customers. They don't always come from the same place, but rest assured they are personally inspected and must meet our standards before they are brought to our customers. Thanks,Healthworks

The last choice of the included pictures on the Amazon page is of a back label. It lists the countries of origin as Mexico/Argentina/Paraguay, and says CAUTION/ALLERGEN: Packaged in a facility that handles tree nuts. Lists HEALTHWORKSLLC.NET as the contact for info and recipes. And 100% Satisfaction Guarantee within 30 days by contact at info@healthworksllc.net

I've read that Braga purchases their seeds from China!!!! I've stopped buying this brand. Read the comments on Amazon website for more information as some of the people really did their homework.

Good question. One I didn't think of before buying these. They are grown in Ecuador and packaged in FL.

Sorry, I have no idea. Nothing said organic on any of the packaging, or where they came from. It's a little creepy to use them and know nothing as they arrive in a big bag with a garbage tie like thing within a box. They appear very "industrial", but I have been using them and they seem just like all the rest. I am concerned if they are food grade or something else. One more thing I can say, is that 25 pounds is a huge amount of chia seeds. I think if I had it to do over, I would pay more for something I knew much more about.

I see no mention of salba chi on the package. The seeds come from Bolivia. You can go to http://chosen-foods.com/ for more information.

I don't believe any chia seeds are GMO. Don't know about chemicals. Check out http://www.azchia.com/ for lots of good info on chia seeds and the origin of modern commercial chia.

They are native to South America but grown here in U.S.A. as well. Nothing I have found says they are grown in China. Here are some links to read about Nutiva Chia Seeds.http://nutiva.com/nutiva-addresses-surging-demand-for-organic-chia/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOU6p9lKIHMhttp://nutiva.com/category/chia/

I dont know if they are from china. I received a 5 pound bag. They are extremely fresh and good quality. Much better than what I can get at the store, even at the health food store. I also ordered cashews from this company. Very fresh and good also.

The seed in this product is grown in Ecuador or Bolivia as this is the best climate for Chia to grow. Every harvest is specially selected by me personally. With over 30 years of organic production experience, I personally manage our organic farming operations in Ecuador. The organic growing methods we use are the most advanced and cutting edge techniques and materials (all vegan) known in the world. We have an ongoing on-farm research program that is dedicated to continuously discovering new ways to optimize soil fertility and produce the most nutritionally abundant chia seeds in the world. Thank you for asking.

I'm not sure that the word "organic" is on the container at all. However, here are some of the things mentioned by the grower. "We grow it naturally in the unique environment of the Kimberley region of Western Australian..." "Ingredients: Nothing but all-natural chia seeds" They have a URL on the container: thechiaco.com.au if that helps.

Thanks for this information, I am specifically looking for seeds organic NOT from China. Is it just me or is it not very strange that one cannot find pumpkin seeds from the US? Even more curious is why they are almost always from China. I have found them from Mexico but not organic.

I purchased this product once but no longer have the package so I am not sure what country it comes from. I now buy Nutiva organic chia seeds which the package states is from Paraguay. I agree - I do not want to buy from China either!

These chia seeds are not organic, however Healthworks does offer organic chia seeds. The label "pesticide-free" is used by farmers who don't use synthetic herbicides, insecticides, or fungicides, much like organic farmers. Many people who don't want to spend the extra money to get organic, and for them the pesticide free is fine. Some prefer the pureness and strict guidelines of organic and thus why there is a choice.Thanks,Healthworks

The container only says it is grown in a natural enviornment 15degrees from Equator in Australia. I have several different kinds of Chia seeds. None say organic.
