"Chia seeds come in two colors: black and white. While white seeds are rarer than black seeds, there is no significant nutritional difference between the two. White seeds are often more expensive because of their rarity, but some people prefer them because of aesthetic reasons." http://library.hidalgofoods.com/?p=308

The nutrition breakdown: Black Seed Protein: 4.3 White Seed Protein: 5.17 Black Seed Fiber: 6.52 White Seed Fiber: 5.52 Black Seed Cholesterol: 0 White Seed Cholesterol: 0. The other difference is Anthocyanins. This link explains your question in full: http://mychiaseeds.com/Articles/BlackWhite.html

It is my understanding that there is no nutritional difference between the two. "Soil quality is the only factor that would affect the nutritional value."

Sorry I don't know the answer, I bought the white because that was the advice I got from a recipe.

I don't think so. They are "naturally grown" and packed in Western (Kimberly Region) Australia and contain 100% chia seed.

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.

chia seeds are from a plant grown in Mexico and southern region. It is the highest form of omega 3 in a plant based food. It has numerous health benefits including anti oxidents. It is gluten free and extremly hydroscopice. It can be used in shakes or sprikled on salads or any foods foods. We use it in alot of our baked goods here at "The Blue Moon Bagel Cafe"

According to Wiki, 1kg is 35.274 oz; Chia Company rounded up to 35.3 oz, which is reasonable. The containers says "1kg (35.3oz)". These are wonderful white Chia seeds, and they arrive in nice, reusable container with a screw on/off cap.

I just bought my first plant, and it arrived as a little tiny, but healthy plant, just about one month ago. I bought a Lady Margaret at the same time. Both are growing and appear to be healthy but the Lady Margaret is growing amazingly fast while my little Incense plant seems to be a slow grower. Both are healthy and appear to be happy. But one is really out pacing the other. I look forward to seeing both mature. Here is NC we have had a lot less sun than usual so that may be playing a part.

Healthworks Chia Seeds are not made in the USA. Our 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 seed in this product is grown in Ecuador and 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 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 tried grinding chia seed. It didn't do well. On a fine setting, the seed didn't go through, and stayed in the grinding burr. Any other settings, and the seed would fall through. I tried grinding the seed on several different settings, with no luck. I think it's too oily for this grinder. Chia is a lot smaller than flax, but they both have a lot of oil.

I never used chia, and I generally buy ground flax. However, for the short time it works, it should handle it. Seriously, I bought two of them and didn't get a full month's work out of the pair.

Not sure , but would guess that white due to golden color of oil and that black seeds are more rare?

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.

Happy Holidays! To be honest with you, I need to do more research about the black sesame seeds before I give you my answers. So far I have heard lots of voices. One of the voices said the black color of genuine sesame seeds should not come off while soaking in water. But another voice said it is normal for the color to come off. Now I don't feel that I have the final answer. Stay well!

My seeds have grown very well, but honestly the plants growing look more like parsley then what is pictured. I have not tried a tea from it yet since I don't exactly know what I'm growing.

I'm not sure how to tell the difference. You would probably have to ask the seller. Mine are planted already and I am waiting for them to come up.

Absolutely!! There is no nutritional difference between white and different colored quinoa.
