Can chia seeds be frozen ?

I agree; chia seeds can be frozen but there is no need to; they last a very long time before they are opened and remain very good for a long while after opened

I measured out two cups into a freezer bag and froze them. I don't know how long ours have been frozen, but when I take them out to thaw, they are very fresh tasting. I do this also with the bulk nuts I buy here on Amazon.

Chia seeds last a very long time! I store mine in air tight containers in a cool, dark pantry.

Wasn't sure so tried a bag of my chia seeds and it holds the seeds without issue. Hopefully that helps.

i am not sure these can be frozen. They are dry, like pasta. So they have a very long shelf life if kept dry. I keep mine in the pantry, and they seem to keep in good shape for a long time. Hope that helps.

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.

when you buy them in the store....they are not cold. Just on a shelf. I don't know why you would receive them frozen. Hmmm

I have never tried to freeze them, but have never tasted the fish oil. It's a great product!

I did freeze them. I have reused them for a couple of different parties and the freezing helped preserve their life. So I assume refrigeration would work as well. Hope this helps. Have a great weekend.

You can use any type of frozen fruit. I've used berries and pineapple, and they worked just fine.

I haven't but I'm sure you can. I just wouldn't leave them frozen for an extended period. I love these for many different uses.

I keep dried beans, grains, nuts, and seeds in them in the freezer throughout the summer. Works fine. I have not used them for anything that contains water.

There is no reason these can't be frozen. Looking at the ingredient list all of them can be frozen. I have frozen them successfully in the past and they don't lose any flavor or quality.

You would most likely need to experiment to see how you like to consume them. I like to put one tablespoon of chia seeds in a small juice glass with about 4 ounces of my favorite juice (usually 100% cranberry juice or 100% cherry juice). I let it sit for about 15 minutes. The seeds plump up to a gel like consistency. I do this first thing in the morning after coffee and again before bed. I have friends that put the seeds in their yogurt, oatmeal or in their morning fruit smoothies. The possibilities are endless. Eating them raw would probably be my last choice.

Sorry, haven't tried chia. It was recommended for bigger seeds so they couldn't pass through but it is a fine grade of hemp so it may work. Try emailing the folks at the sprout house.

I would like to know if this can be frozen, and not change the attributes of the product. Also, what is the shelf life if unfrozen?

I don't see why not. I have put banana and avocado in there to blend & added a bit of water to thin the mixture. I've also put sturdier chunks-apple, pear, cranberries-in the food mill. However I have not tried ice chunks or frozen produce.
