I ask then the same question on their website their reply is "it's safe".Is it silica free: I would assume not unless they says otherwise and it look like they are others peoples waiting for that answer..I drink the milk OK, and I filter it 3 times before bottling it.. not sure if that help as silica particle are really small. but...

No.There is only one seller at this time, that has developed a canary seed that is glabrous ( free of the fibers that coat the outer part of the hull).Its patented and is grown exclusively in Canada. For the record, there's nothing wrong with silica, its a great mineral, essential to strong bones, hair, skin, etc.What's wrong is the shape the silica comes in which is a pointed microscopic spear.Similar to asbestos.

This is my second season using the seeds I ordered from the same source as you have. I had no problem getting the first batch to come up in Spring of 2014 and I just used the last of the seeds for new baby Comphrey's two weeks ago and they still came up under a grow light using regular seed sprouter soil. Sorry to hear that yours are not performing for you. But I was quite impressed with the company and will be ordering varieties from the same company for next Spring.

the seeds are very tiny, about the size of a large grain of sand, and thus cannot be 'cracked'. I just took a teaspoon full and drank water. However, I was told that if you have any digestion issues, the seeds may get stuck in your colon. ..so I stopped taking them.

I did not see one before I threw the bulk bag away. I had re-bagged mine when it arrived into quart size ziplocks and stored those in the freezer as I do with any bulk nuts and seeds (since they can go rancid). There is so much conflicting information out there - initially I'd read it was a seed and then I've seen others swear up and down it is a grain and NOT a seed; so I error on the side of it being seed since those can spoil so much faster than grains ever would.

If you do remove them, consider not chucking them. They're full of something called ellagic acid, it's great for anti-tumoral purposes etc but the seeds have to be crushed or pulverized like flax seed to get the most benefit.

Seriously I think these are the healthiest tastiest treats that are in the category of food that I probably should NOT eat! I love them anyway and eat them on occasion.This is what I found since I do not have the label in front of me: http://www.fooducate.com/app#page=product&id;=89C56362-997C-11E2-9B11-1231381A4CEA I hope it is somewhat helpful. What ingredient exactly did you want to know about?

I bought them because I've been reading about natural remedies for some health problems and several sources say eating ground up sesame seeds can be good for arthritis, which I have in my knee. I haven't tried it yet but the same information showed up on several reliable sources so I'm optimistic. Plus, I love sesame seeds and I suspect several will end up on home baked breads, toasted to put on grilled fish, etc. I buy a lot of bulk things like these seeds, pine nuts, etc. from Amazon and they are always very good. I hope this is helpful. PS - if you google recipes with sesame seeds you'll find thousands.

As far as I can tell these seeds are fine. We are currently using them and planted them last year as well. If you want to, you may want to check out publications like Mother Earth News to get more background on seed (companies). Through that magazine we have started using Southern Exposure Seed Exchange because of their reputation (and they are in NO way fully or partially owned by Monsatan, Syngenta, Cargill, etc)

Chris...I never received the seeds so I would not recommend that you buy them from the vendor (SeedsDirect). Good luck finding another source. Peppers in general are fairly slow to germinate (bottom heat helps) and as plants, the more heat the better (full sun). Fertilize well and don't overwater and you will be richly rewarded. Good luck.

I emailed NutriCology and they sent me the information on CA Prop 65. This was very helpful in understanding about the naturally occuring lead and other metals. Feel Free to Contact them.

I wondered about that too when I first saw it, then I bought it anyway and tried it and now I'm hooked. So before I gorge on 24 packs I should find this out too. But here's the thing, seaweed has tons of iodine, so you're kinda protected that way, if you want to look at it like that. At least that's what I'm telling myself to justify eating these things! lol. I went to their website (seasgift dot com) and here's what it says: "All our seasoned & roasted seaweed are harvested in the west and southwest regions of South Korea." So that's opposite and a little ways south of Fukushima, so any contamination would (presumably) be decaying remnants similar to what American waters are like. (?) Anyway, I feel secure about eating it, as secure as I can be eating from the ocean. The company also says they test for mercury.

Sorry, Its been a year since I bought the Spanish Nuts. I don't remember. I don't even remember the vendor they came from. (website address)

I planted these seeds for my animals to eat. They sprouted and grew well. I guess you could blend them, but they are dry. I see somebody else replied that they came with mold on them. Mine were dry with no mold, but if theirs had mold, then I would say no way should you blend them. Yuck!

I gave these seeds, along with others and tools needed to plant them, to my sister for Christmas. I will ask her and get back to you if that's ok.
