The packaging is big enough, on a zip-fastener. This is USDA certified organic black chia seeds of premium quality, without GMOs. In the package they are perfectly clean, odorless. They contain useful vegetable omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, as well as soluble and insoluble dietary fibers, minerals (calcium, magnesium, iron). For the sake of all this nutritional value and bought. About the taste they write that it is nutty ... I do not know, in my opinion they are not tasty. It seemed to me not convenient that they should be added to drinks / cereals / cocktails and the like in advance, so that they could swell. In cold liquids, they swell for about an hour, so that it can be seen directly, it will not turn out quickly. Swelling, the seeds of chia thicken the liquid, it turns out something like a jelly. It looks all pretty, it looks like poppy seeds, when you drink crunching / bursting on your teeth. But also producers of chia seeds recommend them to sprinkle for example salads or ready-made cereals, desserts, but it seems to me so not very much, that is, if they do not swell and feel them, but wait until the salad wilts somehow is not logical. I add 2 tsp each. For a portion, usually in a bottle of goat's milk yoghurt, left in the refrigerator for an hour or two, then I drink it or fill it with a salad. I would like to add chia seeds to all sorts of fruit and vegetable fresh, but this is not convenient, because they need to be drunk immediately, while all the vitamins are intact, and not wait until the seeds swell. In general, I personally do not understand the hype among these seeds))) Yes it is useful, but to straight from them pudding delicious turned out or it was unbelievably delicious, I did not notice. I will still buy as a source of omega-3 fatty acids and minerals. The quality of this manufacturer was pleasant, in general, he still never failed me and only pleased, so I trust and give my preference in choosing. UPD. Knowledgeable people suggested that chia seeds swell quickly in ordinary water at room temperature. And everything turned out, it took me less than 5 minutes and quickly becomes more dense with time. Even the taste of this slippery "jelly" is interesting, pleasant))). Now I will calmly add in this form in fresh. -------------------------------------------------- --- For detailed photos see the reviews in my journal (click on the icon below my photo on my personal page).
