Nutiva Organic Chia Seed, Black, 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)

A friend recently lost some weight and I asked her why she would get so thin, and she said she wasn't trying to lose weight. She started putting these Chia seeds in her water and she lost weight. I'm not sure they are good for weight loss, but I bought them and did what she said. I put 3 teaspoons (she said she does 2) in my 23.7 oz bottle of Arrowhead water everyday, then I put it in the fridge so it stays cold and leave it in there for at least an hour or two. She does hers the day before, so she always has one ready. The Chia seeds fluff up with a slimy coating (not sure what else to call it), and the first time I drank it, it was odd literally chewing on my water. The Chia seeds only took up 20% of the water area, but I like to shake it so I get some with every drink/bite. I drink 3, 23.7 oz. of water minimum per day, but now, 1 of them is fortified with the Chia seeds. After one week, I can honestly say (okay, this is personal, but I buy based on honest reviews and like to help others, too) that one "movement" per day is more "exceptional" than the others that day. It's usually in the morning, and after just 1 week, I literally feel better. I recently lost weight and started eating some bad foods I should not be eating. I thought I'd put all the weight back on I lost and I didn't! I was like...hmm, is this cause I drink my Chia seeds every day now? I am going to start getting back on the treadmill and watch my diet more. The health benefits alone are insane, and my water really doesn't have much flavor at all. I must be a geek, cause I get excited to drink my water with my Chia seeds now! I wouldn't want to do the Metamucil or any of those other fiber things I've tried because they are all disgusting. They give you stomach problems, too. This gives me NO stomach/intestinal problems whatsoever! If I get a lot of fiber and it has all the health benefits one of the reviewers mentioned, I'm in for life! Thanks, Nutiva, for making a healthy, organic product I enjoy that's good for me!

Okay, I am falling in love with these little guys! They can be mixed in almost anything and are great as a topping as I found out today.I have found that this brand is just fine. The seeds are black with some white mixed in. The smell is lightly nutty and there really is no taste, just feel in the mouth. One person mentioned worms being in the pack. I'm not sure if they actually found worms but they said they saw the seeds moving around in the bag. Not to worry! They are very little and the sack itself creates static inside which makes them look like they are moving around. The quality is great. No junk in the bag and all the seeds gel up as they are supposed to if real.I've been mixing the seeds in my yogurt and today topped my peanut butter toast with them. The consistency is similar to seeds in blueberries or raspberries and they do tend to get stuck in your teeth and gel while there too. So you may want to swish something in your mouth really well or brush your teeth after eating them.For new users, this product will quickly clear up digestive issues and if you use too much you might get plugged up, if you know what I mean. To counter act this you can also eat, or stir into tea or coffee, a couple of teaspoons of organic coconut oil. That is good for you too and tastes like candy to me. :)I love this product and think you will too. Join me in getting healthier by eating these little beauties!

This is an awesome product... certified organic raw chia seeds. I enjoy them on yogurt or in my oatmeal or in baked goods but especially like them in my smoothies. I read soaking 2 Tbsp of chia seed for 5 minutes in 3-4 oz of water to produces a nutritious chia gel that can be added to hundreds of recipes like banana or chocolate pudding or even protein chia bars. There is also a chia ceral on the back of the package that uses chia seed, hempseed, coconut manna, water, fruit of your choice and honey..... So very good. The price is exceptional too for the amount you get. I've added the ingredient list below just so you can see all the yumminess you are getting in every tablespoon!!! Highly recommend.Ingredients for 1 tablespoon:Calories (60), Total Fat (3 g), Polyunsaturated Fat (2.5 g), Potassium (60 mg), Total Carbohydrate (5 g), Dietary Fiber (5 g), Protein (3 g), Calcium (8%), Iron (6%), Magnesium (10%), Omega 3 (2375 mg), Omega 6 (875 mg), Omega 9 (290 mg)

Goes great with anything,chia seeds are a great source of Omega 3 and controls sugar spikes and mix with water it becomes creamy and is decent drink if you on a diet.Makes you feel full.Only complaint it took almost 15 days to arrive

I love these Chia seeds. I soak mine at night for around 10 minutes and drink in water.But you could probably put some over a fruit salad or cereal or yogurt.Great product good value and quality.
