The online outfit in the enclosed link seems to offer the most bang for one's buck if someone is looking for a cheap source of chia seeds.

Hey, I get chia at nutsonline for way less than that. No shipping charges either.

Because of this many new people are buying Chia left and right.

Yesterday I had to purchase crop one year in advance just to guarantee
we'd have a few metric tonnes of Chia over the next 12 months, which
will handle around a tenth of our projected Chia orders.

If you love Chia, I recommend you keep a 6-12 month supply on hand.
Chia is cheap and stores well, freezer is best.

Hi guyz,

Have a great day

STB: I looked for the NO CHARGE FOR SHIPPING did not find any place even at check out or specials !


Do you have a 'secret' as to how to not get shipping charges????

Just a fact:
Here in Mexico we drink chia with lemon water, it is very traditional in some festive days.
I wonder if you can find chia from Mexico in case you can´t get it form other place.
Mmmm, chia lemonade, mmm, I thirsty, byeee

[STB]

Hmm... don't know why there is a charge for you and not me???? I've ordered from them several times, no shipping charge. The prices have gone up though since I posted above. And this after I got half a dozen friends eating the stuff.

Well, I don't think we need to be concerned. I imagine most of the new people will fall by the wayside. I doubt that they know much to do with it; it is we raw foodists who know the wonderful things to do with it.

I believe that Matt and Angela at Raw Food World sell their chia for $8 lb as opposed the $12 in the OP link. My HFS is exactly double at $16. It's a shame because if I could just get out into the desert at the right time I could pick it for free - but it would probably cost me easily $16 in gas just to get there and back!

I get chia seeds for $7.32 a pound and that includes shipping.

[Pirawna]

That chia availability message was a year ago. My chia is always available at my HFS now.

[rawlinda sue]

You're right, I didn't even notice that. Man, I hate it when that happens!

rawlindasue, can I get the same deal?

[rawlinda sue]

I order mine from amazon.com - I get 3 pounds at a time and it comes out to $7.32 a pound. Here is a link:
