Since this is a review about the product & their packaging not how it was packed when shipped I gave it 5 stars.
With packing included
1st order would be 2 stars. (Sold by Alive and Aware and Fulfilled by Amazon)
-Great price but either the sellers packing, amazon packing or a combination of both sucked (I can't really rate the seeds. The ones that leaked out on my couch & floor, while I was retaping it, looked okay)
2nd order would be 5 stars. (Sold by RawReform and Fulfilled by Amazon)
Amazon customer service 3 stars.
-It would have been higher if I understood the person I was talking to & didn't have to shell out $30 again, wait 2 days more (instead of overnight) & wait for a refund.
My 1st order was sent back unopened (since seeds were leaking out of the box. The Fedex driver was nice enough to tape it a little. They were leaking in his truck). Sold by Alive and Aware and Fulfilled by Amazon. Since I never opened the box I have no idea what went wrong or how it was packed. (The sucky part is since amazon wasn't the seller only the fulfiller, I had to reorder, send the package back &...

BBP: Most people know about Chia Pets, but not many people know that the seeds are a rich source of nutrition. It is a very ancient food with a long history of human consumption, dating back possibly 2000 years or more. It was prized by the Aztecs, for example, and is still used today in Mexico and parts of Central America. Along with Amaranth Grain and quinoa, chia is an ancient super-food, but it isn't very well known outside of health food circles or foodies.
I only recently learned that chia (Salvia hispanica, a member of the mint family) is good to eat and full of nutrition, not just for growing on novelty clay heads. It is packed with potassium, manganese, calcium, omega-3 fatty acids, and fiber. Just 1 tablespoon of the seeds yields 5.6 grams of fiber (5.1 of which is insoluble). This is the equivalent to 10 capsules of Metamucil Capsules - 300 Caps - Fiber Therapy for Regularity/Fiber Supplement and is much cheaper pound for pound. Health experts recommend 35-50g for an adult per day.
The seeds don't have any detectable flavor on their own, so they can be incorporated into a recipe or daily routine with ease if you are going for the health...

bamboomaster: I was introduced to chia seeds by my daughter (a Level 1 Trauma Center emergency room nurse)when I last visited her digs. "Hey dad! Try this..." and then she handed me a 16 oz glass with what I thought I recognized as floating detritus from a poorly washed glass. I looked at her and she said "They're chia seeds!" So I took a big gulp of the drink as she explained how great they were for me. She sent me home with a zip lock bag full of them and her follow-on instructions:
Take 1 TBSP with a 16 oz glass of water once a day for a week.
Take 2 TBSP with a 16 oz glass of water once a day for a week.
Take 2 glasses of water in the morning and afternoon with the two TBSP dosage.
A remarkable think happened after 7-10 days in the process. It was around 2:00 pm in the afternoon and I didn't remember making coffee that morning. I checked my favorite coffee mug (usually used it 2-3x in the morning)and it was brand-spanking clean still in the cupboard. And I haven't felt the need to have coffee since. No withdrawal symptoms, no DT's, nothing. Like I said, the coffee industry is going to HATE this review.
More energy, have lost 6 lbs in 2 weeks, and I'm off of coffee...
