I am not sure. I understand South America grows a lot of Chia seeds but which specific country, I do not know nor o I know where these specific seeds come from.

The bag says "distributed in" Scortsdalw, Az. Not sure where they were grown.

Healthworks is always looking for high quality products at low prices so we can pass this along to our customers. They don't always come from the same place, but rest assured they are personally inspected and must meet our standards before they are brought to our customers. Usually from Mexico, Argentina or South America in those regions. ThanksHealthworks

I contacted Healthworks and they advised they "mostly" get these Chia seeds from Mexico and South America.

The container only says it is grown in a natural enviornment 15degrees from Equator in Australia. I have several different kinds of Chia seeds. None say organic.

All chia seeds are raw and vegan (no animal byproducts, since it is a seed and not cooked/roasted). Apparently is not USDA certified organic.

I'm not sure exactly what the answer to this question is, but this it what I do know. It doesn't say on the package where the sunflower seeds are from, but I'm guessing they are from the US since it doesn't say they're from China or anywhere else. I don't know the area or state they are grown in, but I bought them from Net Rush on Amazon, and the package says they are distributed by Now Foods from Bloomingdale, IL 60108 USA. Hope that helps.

I don't think so. They are "naturally grown" and packed in Western (Kimberly Region) Australia and contain 100% chia seed.

The seed in this product is grown in Ecuador and is specially selected by me personally. With over 30 years of organic production experience, I personally manage our organic farming operations in Ecuador. The organic growing methods we use are the most advanced and cutting edge techniques and materials (all vegan) known in the world. We have an ongoing on-farm research program that is dedicated to continuously discovering new ways to optimize soil fertility and produce the most nutritionally abundant chia seeds in the world. Thank you for asking.

There's NO indication on packaging that the chia seeds are grown in China and then distributed from Scottsdale, AZ. There's currently little likelihood of obtaining chia seeds for edible consumption from China, since most of that country is not suitable for chia seed production. Chia plants are grown as field crops requiring relatively long periods of light. Under the right conditions, they form seeds once a year in the fall. Chia plants on CHIA PETS made in China grow, mature, and die in indoor settings without ever going to seed.

According to Wiki, 1kg is 35.274 oz; Chia Company rounded up to 35.3 oz, which is reasonable. The containers says "1kg (35.3oz)". These are wonderful white Chia seeds, and they arrive in nice, reusable container with a screw on/off cap.

Where are these from? Country of origin, & are the nuts tested by a 3rd party to test quality, organic standards, heavy metal contaminants, etc? Thank you

I don't think GMO Chia seeds have been invented yet. I also don't mind not buying certified organic since that just means they don't want to pay for being certified. However, they say they don't use pesticides and that it's chemical free. These are the main things when looking for organic. However, they might use fertilizer. I didn't notice that they didn't use that, in which case, it might not be organic.

Salvia hispanica, commonly known as chia, is a species of flowering plant in the mint family and does not contain gluten. However, the seeds are "Manufactured in a facility that also uses tree nuts, soy, wheat and milk."

People seem to be confusing the location of the distribution facility with the location where the nuts are grown. They are NOT the same. Are these nuts GROWN in China or the US? Looks like Bob Smith says China, but the only way to know for sure is definitely to call them directly.

I believe the chia seeds naturally have calcium. I have been taking them several years. If I skip a few days, i feel like "I"M dragging, full of aches and pains"

They are grown in Argentina and they were labelled organic but there is no indication they are non-GMO though I suspect that it is very unlikely that Chia has any GMO efforts behind it

These seeds are small packets like you find in the grocery store. They come from China. I would not have purchased them if I had known before hand that they were from China. I am surprised they were not confiscated upon entry to the USA. Look at American Meadows.com It is an American company specializing in wild flowers and they can tell you how much to buy for the amount of area you want to cover.
