How is this brand processed? Is it from the seeds, flesh or both?

I just read the entire label and the only text I see that is even close to descriptive about process is "Expeller-Pressed and Hexane-Free". For what it is worth, the picture on the front of the bottle shows both the flesh and the nut/seed but that could just be a graphic showing what an avocado looks like. There is a website listed: www.nowfoods.com. I use the oil on my face and hair about once a month and really like how it leaves my hair and skin.

I use it raw in tuna salad sandwiches and feta salads. I crush the seeds (as they are) with a pestle and throw them in with the mayonnaise, pickles, onions and tuna or the spinach, onions, olives, feta, etc.. Some cooks sauté there spices/seeds in a little oil to help 'bloom' the aroma and flavors. This is common in Asian Indian cooking. Fennel seeds are often used in Italian cooking as well. What kind of soup are you pursuing? My suggestion is to U-tube that soup being made. Best wishes.

You will get 5 however they may be raped of their seeds and cut into and others will be whole but dried differently by oven to kill the seeds and lose that sweet smell of HEAT they usually have from the sun drying, DEPENDS ON WHAT BATCH YOU GET. I managed to salvage 1 seed from the first batch I ordered which was sun dried and I'm growing my own plant/s which cropped out amazingly so far. To me I prefer un-raped sun-dried pods because I am a connoisseur of hot peppers and the sun drying tastes better. The seller is the only one so far I know of that is allowed to sell the Reaper but Hinterland sells an amazing Trinidad Moruga Scorpion if you don't mind a step down from 1st place in heat. The seller of this Reaper wants to please their customers and I believe they will be successful in their venture so I recommend it.

When I got it the last three times it has been. That doesn't mean it isn't processed around sunflower seeds though.... So maybe there are traces of them; but I've never noticed any...

I read the can thoroughly and it doesn't indicate anywhere whether the seeds are raw or roasted. Sorry I couldn't help.

Hi Michael. I use to buy and eat organic as much as I can and this is why I ordered those Chia seeds. Hard to say if they are better or not than the non-organic because nutrients are similar but when it comes to seeds, I am always concerned about pesticides or other chemical treatments. So even though I was not impressed by the packaging (the bag doesn't seal very well once open) so far I am OK with this brand. Recommendation = soak 1 or 2 seeds spoons at the time and put it in a small container to soak in your fridge. You will get a kind of jelly that is very convenient to add to a shake for example. I never eat the seeds directly : way too small to be crushed by your teeth....A bag lasts very long because you don't want to take too much every day (laxative effect....). Hope that this will help you make a decision on your buying.

I suspect the fresh form is better but most people will want to purchase the ground form. Easier to use and they will not have to grow it in their back yard. It may not degrade much from being ground and stored because evidently the health benefits remain after cooking. This particular brand is not as processed as some others that I have used -- it is coarser and softer and slightly moist. I have read that carrots and garlic become healthier if you dice them more finely. This may be a nice compromise between the raw root and the finely ground dry powders that I often find. This is my favorite brand so far. I want to start gardening but not waste time on turmeric as long as I can get this brand from Amazon.

I believe you are referring to our almond product - the blanched almonds have their skin removed via a steam process then are milled into flour - unblanched almonds leave the skin in tact and are milled to produce almond flour. Hope that helps!-Anthony's Staff

The product we received is raw, unground wheat seeds / "berries". To obtain flour, it has to be ground. We use a "Wonder Mill" to do that. We use a bread recipe and process we found on-line to make sandwich loaves that rise like bread you buy in a supermarket but which are made with 100% flour milled from this product along with an optional tablespoon per loaf of active wheat gluten (protein). Have not tried making biscuits, cakes, cookies, and/or pie crusts yet from the flour we make from the Great River product.

Grown in Tawain, processed in Japan, I think. They have a website...maybe check it.

Raw is apparently not processed, but pure. Any mixes I understand are processed.

Jodi I honestly don't know how it is processed. The company may be able to provide that info. The liquid has very little taste, I swear by it daily. Sorry I am unable to answer.

PJ......I don't recall there being any instructions but since I have been sprouting for years, it wasn't an issue. I use a tablespoon of alfalfa or clover or any other tiny seed per tray. Soak overnight for roughly 8 hours first, then rinse morning and evening. I use 1/4 cup of lentils for lentil sprouts and about the same for garbanzo bean sprouts. Experiment!

It is processed in a facility where nuts are processed, but I do not know "how" the cocoa is processed. I looked at the packaging and that information is not on the label anywhere.

When you go to their website it says kosher processed organic. My previous jars have said organic

I 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 this seller lists it as a seed) and then I've seen others (even in this thread answering you) who refer to it is a grain and NOT as a seed; so I error on the side of it being seed, since those can spoil so much faster than grains ever would,and store the quinoa accordingly. I have had mine stored in the freezer for over 2 years and whenever we take some out to cook it looks and tastes just fine.

I looked at several sources online and it comes from the flesh of the fruit. The seed has very little oil in it.
