Who manufactures these seeds?? I want to be sure they are not Monsanto, some of these seeds have Monsanto seed names!

We only sell Non Hybrid seed - NO GMO seeds-Heirloom seeds. These are NOT monsanto seeds.

Some Heirloom seeds are sold by Wal-Mart, Lowe's and yes, even Monsanto (they might not be labeled "Heirloom" or "Organically grown" but the same name on the package (Ex. BlueLake Green Beans). They grow well year after year, and the big companies know it, that's why they sell them. As for how they are grown and propagated at these companies, who knows how much herbicide/insecticide 'they' use... I like the source of these seeds because they are Heirloom varieties that are organically grown and produced.

The name on the label is be prepared now, and website is www.bepreparednow.net how this helps

Some Heirloom seeds are still used by the big companies like Monsanto, because they perform year after year. I feel that in a society where lawsuits are made at the drop of a hat, these people are probably delivering what they say they are delivering (Heirloom seeds).

Hi Tom, thanks for your interest in our seeds. The seeds are organic heirloom seeds, non gmo, non hybrid, open pollinated...they aren't USDA certified.

I called the company and they said; "No, these seeds are not to be ground! As you might know this is an affective fiber source and antioxidants as well. Add some seeds to a bit of warm water, in a glass, and let stand 15 minutes. What you'll then see is like a gelatin. A gelatin fiber substance will form around each seed. That said; one might want to separate consumption of Chia Seeds along with prescription medications and possibly supplements and herbs as well; as they would likely bind. You don't want to mix-in/ expose the seeds to High Heat cooking, etc,, as this will destroy the nutritional properties. Say you cook oats; then sprinkle some seeds on-top of the oats once you have placed the oats in your bowl. I personally cannot take the recommended tablespoon serving as these seeds are a highly effective fiber source, for me; I use just a small sprinkle once or twice weekly. btw/ this product is priced good [for organic] on Amazon. I intend to call the company again to ask if this is a GMO free product, but I doubt it.

I am very suspect of the seeds I received. They should look like any other hot pepper sprout and I doubt they are authentic Carolina Reaper seeds. I will not order from seeds direct nor would I have ordered them this time had I known they were from China.

That's a great question. It only says 100% organic on the bucket but does not say anything about NON-GMO. Glad you brought that up. I will be looking for that label next time I'm ready to purchase more seeds.

None. Last year these turned out to be pickling cucumber seeds. I think it was a poser and not Renee's Garden that was selling on this site. Order directly.

These seeds may be sent from China, if you buy them from one of the many Chinese vendors selling seeds on Amazon. You have to check your vendor before you order seeds and see where they are located. China has no standards for organic, so if the seeds come from China, then they are not organic. Currently, a store called "Evening Primrose" is selling these seeds and are located in China. The rest of the vendors are located in the US.

I've read that Braga purchases their seeds from China!!!! I've stopped buying this brand. Read the comments on Amazon website for more information as some of the people really did their homework.

They are organic & non GMO. We're already on our 3rd generation of some seeds. They give and give. Just collect wisely.

It is my understanding that they are non- GMO seeds that they plant, I do not know that they are certified.

I was going to order these until I saw that the seeds are from China. Thanks for the info!

They are certified organic which meens that legally they can not be GMO. As always though being a consumer we simply trusting that the seller is providing what they say. They sprout well and are verry tasty though. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure.. My understanding is that they use non-GMO seed, but can't guarantee that other seed particles may not contaminate their crop from wind transference, etc. However, since it's so vague, I feel wary about the quality and have decided not to purchase it again. I would absolutely change my mind if they could label it as "organic and GMO free."

I'm just a customer, so I don't know the answer to this question. I do know that they aren't organic(which means they definitely AREN't GMO). Also they aren't truly raw in the common vernacular( they are steamed) and even though they are called "sprout-able" they DON'T ACTUALLY SPROUT. I will not be buying them again.

I don't know but I'd say unless they say organic in the name probably not. I did get some organic heirloom tomato seeds from seeds and things but not all their stuff is organic. After I had already bought the seeds I found this: http://www.treehugger.com/lawn-garden/10-best-seed-companies-selected-by-readers.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+MrBrownThumbTreeHugger+%28MrBrownThumb+TreeHugger%29 which was cool, they have both pdf catalogs and free hard copies (if you don't mind waiting for them to mail). How this helps :)
