I'm sorry, I don't remember! I finished off the bag awhile back. My best guess is, they were raw -- they weren't salted and in no way tasted roasted or baked or processed in any way. Since they're advertised as "Ruth's Raw Goodness," they're probably raw.

Yes, the packaging says "raw goodness" on the front and they seem to be as raw as they can be.

I am not sure. My wife uses it. She is a health freak and she seems to be happy with it.

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.

Chia is inherently raw - never heated. It is also grown on land that is in the process of organic certification (actually already has it) although we are still going through necessary steps to produce bags and certified facilities to package it. The chia is organic, and the certification for the actual bag, along with the certifying agency will appear on inventory in the next few weeks.

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.

I called the company and they said; "No, these seeds are not to be ground! As you might know this is an affective fiber source and antioxidants as well. Add some seeds to a bit of warm water, in a glass, and let stand 15 minutes. What you'll then see is like a gelatin. A gelatin fiber substance will form around each seed. That said; one might want to separate consumption of Chia Seeds along with prescription medications and possibly supplements and herbs as well; as they would likely bind. You don't want to mix-in/ expose the seeds to High Heat cooking, etc,, as this will destroy the nutritional properties. Say you cook oats; then sprinkle some seeds on-top of the oats once you have placed the oats in your bowl. I personally cannot take the recommended tablespoon serving as these seeds are a highly effective fiber source, for me; I use just a small sprinkle once or twice weekly. btw/ this product is priced good [for organic] on Amazon. I intend to call the company again to ask if this is a GMO free product, but I doubt it.

If the package doesn't say organic then it is not certified organic. These appear to be high quality seeds. Enjoy!

Yes, these are raw brazil nuts, just like the ones i have been shelling muself for years. I keep the large bag in the freezer and portion out smaller amounts every week or so.

I don't think so. The recent recall was for dry sprouted chia seed powder in Canada. These are whole seeds; not sprouted or powder.

When I was buying it wasn't raw seeds. They were roasted with salt. But these says in ingredients only organic sunflower seeds. It means if it's not in the ingredients, it's not in the product. Look at the pic.

I doubt it. They are much larger than flax seeds or chia, and hard as a rock!

No. They are not. Make sure that you buy dates that are organic (like they were just picked from the tree). Eat to your hearts content of raw organic fruits and vegetables. Your body will love you for it as you will love it to! Hope this helps. :)

I am pretty sure they aren't. They were very stale tasting and dark colored, not like fresh pecans.

Hi Jenny, Even though our chia seeds are technically non GMO and gluten free, we do not advertise our products as being non GMO or gluten free. Thanks, Healthworks

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.
