Yupik Raw Black Chia Seeds, 2.2 lb (35.2 oz), Gluten-Free, Kosher, Vegan, Natural Seeds, Plant-Based Superfood, Rich in Fiber, Source of Omega-3, Ideal for Chia Pudding & Smoothies, Gels Easily

I used to have bad gastrointestinal issues because I had a low fiber diet. I felt bloated all the time, or felt like I constantly had to go to the bathroom only to sit there with no results. I did a lot of research on high fiber foods, and chia seeds seemed to be the best way to incorporate more fiber into my diet at a low cost. Metamucil is also a good choice, but 3x more expensive for the same results. 2.2lbs of Chia seeds cost $10, versus 2.2lbs of Metamucil cost a little over $30. Not to mention, chia seeds are high in protein and omega 3 fatty acids, whereas Metamucil is not. I weigh out 40 grams of chia seeds (12g-13g of fiber) and soak them in 2 cups of water for 2 hours or more, and drink them with a straw. You have to make sure to stir them well, or they will clump together. Chia seeds have made a huge impact on my regularity and overall mood. I don't feel bloated or bogged down all the time like I used to. I was purchasing chia seeds from Wal-Mart, but found these to be a better deal as you got more for your money. Chia seeds do have a gelatinous consistency which may not be ideal for some people, I liken them to boba in bubble tea, just a lot smaller. They have little to no taste, and you can soak them in all kinds of different liquids. You should drink a lot of water too whenever you're increasing your fiber intake, as the fiber bulks up and helps move things along when you're properly hydrated. If you're having stomach issues, I would highly recommend incorporating chia seeds into your diet, as they will make a huge difference in the way you feel. These are an excellent deal!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great for the gut

wasn't what I thought it was, everything was good

These chia seeds are fresh, clean, and gel up perfectly for puddings and smoothies. I love that they're gluten-free, vegan, and packed with fiber and Omega-3s. Great value for the size, and the resealable bag keeps them fresh. I use them daily and will definitely be buying again!

Truly is a giant bag of black chia seeds. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of five is because the bag was too weak and broke during transit. Not too much of it spilled out, but it still stands that the bag broke and some of the seeds were wasted :(It's probably amazons fault tbh, but hopefully they'll make the bags stronger to stand the carelessness that is amazon

thank you

First time purchasing this brand. Fresh and tastes good and appears to be clean in the bag. The seal of bag is resealable but I'm a little afraid to trust it the way itvis designed. I put into another container. It would be a mess if you didn't get it 100% sealed. Trying to up my protein level using it with recipes.

Very good Size:large amount to this price it’s amazing
