Definitely going to keep on buying this one.05/12/2018, By ZaloogaLet it be known, i'm not writing this review to earn a faithful point, okay maybe i am but that price tag is really worth the trouble.
This is the cheapest i've ever seen chia seeds especially after having to get them from woolworths. My only recommendation is to add them to every purchase you make on ftl, the last thing you want is to run out. :)09/11/2018, By ConnieI order for friends and colluges too. They love the quality and price. So many uses, for some of my friends it's a must have for weightloss.20/10/2018, By NoraI love the resealable packaging and it is great value for money as well. Cheaper than other brands I have bought before.19/10/2018, By MeagenGreat product, value for money and love the resealable packaging. However I hope that in the near future this packing can become more environmentally friendly17/10/2018, By Lize-MariGreat value for money. Will definitely keep ordering this one. And like the resealable packaging.15/09/2018, By ShaunieLove the product. Really great value for money.
Packaging could use some improvement though. Maybe something biodegradable?27/07/2018, By CatiaReally great quality for the cost. Nutty, earthy taste. Not the best packaging (my seal didnt close properly), but I decanted it into a jar so it wasnt a problem! :)27/07/2018, By Anna-BetGreat value for money. Very versatile. Wish there was a way that it could come packaged in bio-degradable packaging though.24/07/2018, By Zanelsuper affordable for great quality. love putting this over yogurt and oats for breakfast.01/07/2018, By NicoleCheaper than Montagu chia seeds, and just as good! I’m happy with this product.21/06/2018, By BrendaI bought these to try because of all the lovely pics i saw online with gorgeous fruit in little jam jars, but the reality not quite the same. Simple enough to make and i think the liquid you use may make a difference - im still experimenting. When they swell up, they remind me of tomato pips - you know with like a puffy film around the pip. The whole mixture was kind of gooey. I made a liquid of milk, coconut milk, vanilla and xylitol. It was a great snack when i felt like something sweet. Added some butter and heated it up on cold night and almost like sago. Good for Banters like me - will keep on trying various liquids to see how taste is affected.21/06/2018, By RachaelVery happy to have discovered this super little seed LOCALLY GROWN and at such a great price! Hurrah on both fronts!21/06/2018, By nickiThis product is fantastic and well priced. I bought them for my horse to help with removal of sand from the gut.21/06/2018, By Ilse (Perrys Leisure cc)I am going to try a packet to see what these local chias are like. Fantastic to have them grown locally. I sometimes grow some in my garden but just to get the seeds out without messing is very time consuming for me. Do not pass one day without my chia seeds. Will let you know once we have tried them.21/06/2018, By StephnieVery happy with the product itself - however I was disappointed that the package I received stated that it was a product of a South American country, and not KZN as I was expecting.21/06/2018, By nickiFantastic product, well packaged and has a variety of uses. I use it as a breakfast for myself and use it for my horses added to their feed, helps remove sand from the gut21/06/2018, By Ilse"Truefood Chia Seeds are the first to be locally grown in the Kwa-Zulu Natal province of South Africa, with no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides used in their cultivation." This message attracted me: but only to find out that the package reads: Imported from Argentina, so where is the guarantee of the above message. Also I believed that being packed in a 1kg package that the product might be cheaper: 1st locally grown and then less packaging cost, I did not found it more economic. Our family eats Chia every single day, so price and quality are very important. We found the Chia seeds excellent.
Admin: Product copy has been updated since Truefoods informed us that they no longer source their chia from Kwa-Zulu Natal, but have changed to importing from Argentina. Apologies for this incontinuity.21/06/2018, By isogood to know it is a local product. Excellent food additive to cereals, scones, rusks etc Tastes good and does you good too21/06/2018, By IzzyLovely addition to morning breakfast cereal, fruit, rusks and scones. Also wonderful when soaked for a while to form a jelly-like substance to help ease constipation!21/06/2018, By DeborahGreat value for money with the added perk of not using synthetic pesticides and fertilizers in cultivation.
Keeps us all 'regular' at home : )21/06/2018, By IsabelGreat product. use it in my breakfast cereal, baked in rusks and breads21/06/2018, By ClareVery happy with my Chia seeds loving it as a healthy breakfast.

Will keep supporting local!21/06/2018, By EveGood product. Mine came nicely packaged in a re-sealable bag. Perfect addition to my breakfast "pudding". Lots of uses, lots of goodness. A must have in my kitchen :)21/06/2018, By QThe packaging was even better than the one displayed on the site because it is a strong paper bag with a ziploc.
