Spectrum Essentials Organic Ground Chia Seed, 10 oz

Great!

Love chia seeds (especially ground chia seeds) because they are easy to add to smoothies, oatmeal etc! It’s a good way to boost fiber. They don’t have much of a taste and the ground chia seats are as much of a jelly consistency as the full seed!

Very good. I put these tiny dirt particles in my food and I am stronger now. I will continue.

Good

Ground chia seeds can be a healthier way to eat chia seeds than whole chia seeds. This would be especially true for old people who suffer from poor dental performance. Even people who are blessed with excellent chewing abilities are shocked when they see that aboult half of the chia seeds that they had eaten yesterday are still completely intact and undigested in their bowel movements. Chia seeds are just as healthy for us to eat as ground flaxseeds or whole pumpkin seeds and about half as healthy for us to eat as foods made from soybeans such as natto (healthiest), tofu, unsweetened soymilk, edamame, soy sprouts, soy flour, soy meat, soy yogurt, etc. The chia seed industry makes the unfortunate mistake of trying to sell their chia seeds by saying that they are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Only about 5% of the short-chain omega-3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is plentiful in both chia seeds and flaxseeds, can be converted by the human body into the extremely beneficial, marine, long-chain omega-3 fatty acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Much less than 1% of the ALA can be converted into the even more beneficial, marine, long-chain omega-3 fatty acid, docosapentaenoic acid (DHA). Thus, eating fish or swallowing fish oil softgels remain the 2 healthiest ways to get enough omega-3s. Chia seeds and ground flaxseeds are both rich in cancer-preventing lignans, cholesterol-lowering phytosterols, longevity-promoting phytate, other antioxidants, soluble fiber, insoluble fiber, and beneficial probiotic bacteria, including lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, and Bacillus subtilis.

Great Product

I like that this comes in a zip-lock type bag to keep product fresh. I had researched Chia seed consumption & found our bodies absorb more of their nutrients when we consume them ground (same w/flax seeds by the way) and I had no desire to make chia seed pudding, so ground is what I decided on. This product is easy to use, I just toss 2 Tbs in my veggie smoothies and blend and this just blends right in so not noticeable when drinking! And they're organic so even better!!

Been using this as an egg substitute in chocolate cookies for a year and it's exactly what I expected and was looking for. When they say it's powder, it is undeniably powder.

I take chia seeds on a daily basis. Package came open and made a big mess when I open the Amazon envelope. Half was left in the amazon packing and half went on my floor. Usually I have no issues with buying from amazon. This is my second health related purchase that I am disappointed in. I truly believe far more care should be taken with health related products. DISAPPOINTED.
