I understand the smaller-than-normal size seeds are lower quality. One reviewer said these are tiny. Does anyone know if these are standard size?

Boy I'm not sure about the size I've bought them several times and love them .

These seeds were the same as the more expensive seeds I purchased in the past. I wasn't aware that chia seeds had size differences.

They've been a consistent size the last two times I have ordered from them. As for size=quality, I'm not sure nor have ever read anything. I hope you get the chia product you invision.

Beats me. I just looked up black eyed susan on amazon and this is what I found. I ordered and got this tiny little pack about 1"x 1.5". I assume there are 28,000 seeds. I am a master gardener and know how to plant and water these type of things. I would not buy these things again even if they were free. I will get mine from Burpee or other companies like that from now on and would suggest the same for you. Still, nothing has germinated.

Probably not. The seeds we got were hard, old, and when they finally sprouted, VERY moldy. We tried it twice to see if it was just one batch. Both were covered with mold (and since we live in Southern Arizona, mold isn't something you see every day). I'd find your seed elsewhere. I've been buying from a wonderful place in San Francisco called Sprout People. Take a look at their website.

I think they're smaller than the ones Walmart used to give us. More like grocery store size. I hear Walmart sells them but have never seen what size they sell.

Hi Allison, I'm sorry but I can't answer your question. My seeds never grow up.

These are tiny plant seeds in their raw, whole, and natural form. When you ask whether they're hulled, I think of larger corn kernels or sheaths of wheat, but these are the size of a sesame seed, and.... they are delicious.

I think they would be good for starting seeds, but not a larger plant. They are very small - only big enough to hold a helping of M&Ms or thumbtacks.

The ones I purchased are not small. I bought a pair in a local store to insure I got small ones. I found it to difficult to manipulate the 1/ 3/4 size boading balls.

I bought the seeds but they are not mature enough to bear as yet. I will have to wait at lease a month before they are even close to producing perrpers. Sorry.

the seeds are very tiny, about the size of a large grain of sand, and thus cannot be 'cracked'. I just took a teaspoon full and drank water. However, I was told that if you have any digestion issues, the seeds may get stuck in your colon. ..so I stopped taking them.

I just planted some in my garden only a few days ago. so far nothing.. I did plant some in the house in those little green house plastic containers that come with the little dirt pods. they are already growing. took less than a week and they are already an inch tall.. the seeds I planted outside I water twice a day because it gets hot and dry quickly. I mixed garden soil and compost and steer manure into the garden. each seed is different as far as sun. So far I am happy with them.

Not a single one of the seeds grew for me, I researched how to grow them online. I soaked them in warm water over night before planting then used a covered seed starter and kept it in sunlight indoors for weeks. Dug up a few, not even a root. So assuming you can even get them to grow at all, who knows?

Don't think there would be a difference. I imagine that some get broken and dented when the seeds are removed and so would be sold as pieces and possibly cheaper??

Diane, I know when I planted mine late last year it took awhile for them to come up too. Not knowing how you planted them I'm not sure what's going on. Hopefully you planted them no more than maybe an inch deep in good soil, with at least some sun shine and have been watering them occasionally. If so, they should be popping up soon. The ones I planted this year only got about half as tall as last year before they started to bloom, but they came up quicker. I would rather have the bigger plants. Be patient, I don't think you will be disappointed.

I was in the same boat you were. And could only find the Vining kind of seeds at the store. I was driving by a house one day that had the one I was looking for, and stopped. Rang the doorbell with no answer. So I snipped off a seed pod.....just planted them a month ago and they are growing like Crazy! So excited! !

Hi there I've used these seeds before, they seem to be slightly washed but not to a great extent, I find its hit and miss some batches are processed very well others are dirty and earthy, I would round up by saying that they are natural and have had little washing.

I am not happy that I bought the seeds. None of the spindly small seeds, about 8, in the pack survived. I wonder why such scanty number should go for that price. My dream of raising Stevia was dashed.
