are these chia seeds organic?

The Chia Company doesn't advertise their seeds as being organic, however, they do say their seeds are are ripened under the sun and are chemical free.

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.

I'm not sure. The ingredients list states: Nothing but all natural chia seed. It also states, "we grow it naturally in the unique environment of the Kimberley region of Western Australia, exactly 15 degrees from the Equator to produce only the best quality chia."

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

The Chia co Australian-grown only says on the bottle "all natural seed" , so I guess it's not organic. They sell it in Australia in a different container/ wrapping than their products sold in the US. Address in Australia: the Chia Co, Lorimer St. Port Melbourne Victoria, Australia 3207. T. 1300 244 226, T.+61 3 9646 8002,F +61 3 9646 3002. Besides Amazon, Whole-food-markets in Houston TX sell those Chia Australia.

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.

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.

The package states Chemical Free, and the website states "No fertilizers or chemicals are used, Chia is naturally rich." They also have attached their Organic Certificate. You can check it out at www.therawfoodworld.com.

No, it's not organic. They are very good to start seeds though. No nutrients in them. They are just like insulation they use in housing construction. Very good for hydroponics.

Most if not all chia seed production is done organically since it isn't affected by any major pests or diseases. If you choose to buy something labeled as "organic", then you're just paying extra for unnecessary marketing hype (in this case).

If the package doesn't say organic then it is not certified organic. These appear to be high quality seeds. Enjoy!

I don't think so. The recent recall was for dry sprouted chia seed powder in Canada. These are whole seeds; not sprouted or powder.

I also don't think so... However, they are antibiotic free and organic in every other way. This is the most organic, "pure" formula on the market according to the exhaustive research I've done. Unfortunate, since it's not perfect, but I think they work hard trying to get close.

Their website says they are organic - "Organic and Natural" so I would assume (yeah, I know, not the best thing to do!) that they are non-gmo.

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 original packaging was a tomato. Frankly, I would trust that the seeds are organic just based on the fact they obviously didn't come from a big corporate seed company with fancy packaging.

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.

It's wrong. They are not organic. Even the Bob's Red Mill website doesn't show any organic potato flakes on their site. Since they make numerous organic products, I'm sure it would say it on the pkg. I wish they were. We eat almost all organic foods. These are a spurge for us. Basically like our take-out night since we don't eat any of that stuff (we're gluten, dairy and chemical preservative free). They are easy and tasty. I add s&p; and avocado oil and a but of garlic powder and they're great!

No--it appears that the flax seed is the only ingredient identified as organic.

Morning, Our warehouse is located in San Diego. All our seeds are grown in either Mexico, Nicaragua or Boliva and while they are not certified organic, we have a strict commitment to zero pesticides, chemicals or irradiated cleaning processes. If you visit our website, www.chosenfoods.com, you will get a good understanding of the commitment we have to quality and purity. We lab test many, many other brands of chia seeds - including "organic". Often, those labeled organic have higher concentrations of pesticides and chemicals then those with out the label. Hope this helps!

Yes, all the seeds from MyPatriotSupply.com claim to be non gmo and organic. I have a great herb garden from them.
