1 person said there are stalks and 1 said dirt and sand was in their bag of seeds and it damaged their teeth. How many others have had this happen?

I have seen nothing but clean seeds. My product was excellent. Have used two of four bags and found nothing in the bags but seeds. Would have returned them otherwise.

I've gone through 4 bags and not seen one stalk, grain of sand, rock or other matter. The seeds are very smooth and clean. They're great quality at a good price. I've never had any problem with any Bob's Red Mill products.

I did not experience anything but seeds in my bag of Bob's Red Mill Chia. I take a scoop of them every day and have tried several types.

I have not found any sand, dirt or stalks in my bags, actually I am ready to order four more bags.

I have used Bob's Red Mill Chia seeds for a couple of years and I've NEVER had any stalks or sand or dirt in them! I've bought them at our local grocery store and online at Amazon with no problems.

The Chia seeds that I purchased contained no foreign matter. They were delicious and I have used them in baking, cooking and in oatmeal. I bought the 4 pack and gave 2 bags away to friends and kept the other 2 for myself. I am on my second bag and have found no problem and will buy it again.

We also used sand. This summer was a learning experience for us as well. We got the pool all set up and a mole decided to start tunneling under and around the legs of the pool. It has an interesting lean to it now, next year, grub kill before setup.

I just got a typical bag of seed that also had a lot of sunflower seeds. The cardinals that came to my window seemed to eat those a lot. Good luck.

I would say that both the sodium chloride (salt) and the silica (sand) in the bag that I bought are fine, that is, more the size of table salt. Even though it is fine, the insoluble silica particles are very unpleasant to experience between my teeth when I ate the food I cooked with it.

I didn't read about the worms. Haven't noticed them. Of course, I grind them and add them as powder to food, so maybe I'm added ground worms as well.

I have no idea. The only bag I bought wasn't sealed correctly and so there was a hole. We wouldn't eat them, they went in the trash.

We live in Florida, when it rains the seed in the four holes gets wet. The next day I take a bamboo chop stick and clean out the four holes and this seems to solve the problem. PS: The birds do not care if the seed is wet, however if not cleaned out it may sour and make the birds sick.

Jesus, what do you need to know that for? I have never heard of any manufacturer giving that specific information on agriculture products. Foreign matter maybe, but not how much seed is broken or cracked.Depends exactly what you mean by broken or cracked too?

Perhaps there are vendors whose organic popcorn kernels have bugs. I have yet to detect this here. When I received the order I vacuumed packed my order in separate containers. Bugs have been around since agriculture and farming. In point of fact, we are all exposed to germs and this provides immunity. Best wishes.

Also, I made a mixture of peat moss and perlite for the soil. If any of the leaves or snappers touch the mixture, they burn. You can't avoid it because of the way it grows.

I have not picked up acorns, however, I have some hard pods from a sweet glum tree that really makes a bad sound if I get into any. I have since stopped using the vac on them and I rake them into a pile and pick them up by hand. Not to bad, better than damaging the vac.

In instructions with seeds, it says those white fluffy things are part of seed roots, not mold and go away when you add water. That's been my experience.

Mine did. It was quite disgusting -- and very unexpected. There was a full-sized maggot in one of the nuts (there may have been maggots in more than one of the nuts, but at that point, I stopped eating them). When I contacted the company, instead of sounding concerned or appalled, they treated as if it were normal and to be expected. If finding such a thing in a pistachio weren't bad enough, to have the company respond like that? Inexcusable. I couldn't recommend these. Pistachios are great, but not when you have to be worried about getting roasted and salted maggots along with them... :/

I haven't found this to be a problem and I use orange and lemon zest quite a bit. There is some zest in the teeth when I am finished but I use a brush to clean it and it is fine.

I think it was soil, half of the plant was dead and the rest was very small. After a month or so it was not doing any better.

my grandmother used salt and charcoal every night before bed on pieces of old bed sheets cut up. it was all clean. when she died they tried to remove her teeth thinking false teeth ,they weren't. I used baking soda and salt mix 50-50 but my teeth are no were like hers. too much sweets and some pop. pop and trash foods will do you and your teeth in at 73 I know.
