They are not bad, but I have had better luck using self watering planters to start my seed with the heating mat, I use the moisture control miracle grow, and cheap shop lights that I bought at Menards for light, set it all up on a high shelf in my garage with epson salt when planting.

I looked on the package, and it doesn't say anywhere that they are organic. That makes me think that they probably aren't. I wish they were. They are great plants though, I am loving mine!

I am sorry, but I haven't planted them yet and do not know any more about them than what it says on Amazon. Good Luck.

Not a single one of the seeds grew for me, I researched how to grow them online. I soaked them in warm water over night before planting then used a covered seed starter and kept it in sunlight indoors for weeks. Dug up a few, not even a root. So assuming you can even get them to grow at all, who knows?

They better be non GMO because that's what I paid for. As far as I know these seeds are organic, non GMO.

My packages do not specify "organic". I have not tried sprouting, but the grain is almost dust small. About the size of grains of sand. Not sure how well sprouting would work. It has not been heated, so given the right conditions, it should sprout. It comes from a very dry part of the world. Not sure what the sprouting conditions would be. Other grains or seeds may be easier.

I'm not sure about all sprouting seed at Todd's seeds but I have purchased the alfalfa and broccoli seeds and they are certified organic.

When I purchased this same seed in a larger container is said "certified organic" USDA. The smaller packaging just says organic alfalfa. It may be because it was repackaged in smaller containers. I don't see the larger containers for sale on the site anymore, but I have bought them in the past. It comes from the same source.

I just planted some in my garden only a few days ago. so far nothing.. I did plant some in the house in those little green house plastic containers that come with the little dirt pods. they are already growing. took less than a week and they are already an inch tall.. the seeds I planted outside I water twice a day because it gets hot and dry quickly. I mixed garden soil and compost and steer manure into the garden. each seed is different as far as sun. So far I am happy with them.

I am using my own tomato seeds. Actually, I saved the little plastic inserts that held the sponges--they clean up fine. For seed starting I replaced the little sponge with half a rockwool mini cube. It works great. I was thinking of buying the master gardeing kit but I haven't yet. I'm still on the fence about that, cause I have my own nutrients that I can add to the garden instead and I don't have to spend $40.

Yes, the seeds are better in there natural state, organic also is a plus! I put the seeds on salads, yogurt, cereal etc. It tastes great too! :) &#9829;

I called the company and they said; "No, these seeds are not to be ground! As you might know this is an affective fiber source and antioxidants as well. Add some seeds to a bit of warm water, in a glass, and let stand 15 minutes. What you'll then see is like a gelatin. A gelatin fiber substance will form around each seed. That said; one might want to separate consumption of Chia Seeds along with prescription medications and possibly supplements and herbs as well; as they would likely bind. You don't want to mix-in/ expose the seeds to High Heat cooking, etc,, as this will destroy the nutritional properties. Say you cook oats; then sprinkle some seeds on-top of the oats once you have placed the oats in your bowl. I personally cannot take the recommended tablespoon serving as these seeds are a highly effective fiber source, for me; I use just a small sprinkle once or twice weekly. btw/ this product is priced good [for organic] on Amazon. I intend to call the company again to ask if this is a GMO free product, but I doubt it.

I put mine in regular organic soil in a small 4 " pot. Per 5 seeds evenly spaced Ill usually get one that grows. they are pain to grow. I put them about 1/2 cm into the soil. They like humidity but dont over water. once a week is good. if its not doing well put a clear plastic bag over it for a few days ( like proudce bags from the store )

Hello KateThank you for your question. Yes, the seeds come from a certified organic farm right here in the United States and as such, they are GMO free. I hope this is helpful. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance. Thank you Sprout Lady Rita

Organically grown plants rely on beneficial microorganisms living in the soil to break down nutrients and thus feed the root systems (symbiotic relationship). Feeding this to organic plants may jeopardize your micro-herd and force you to rely on chemical fertilizers until you flush the salts from your soil and restore the soil back to its living, healthy state (using compost, compost tea, EWC, mycorrhizal fungi, etc). I'd highly suggest doing some reading on true organic growing; you'll never look back, if you do it right.

Yes. Pkg says Organic Alfalfa-Sprouting. Genetically engineered wouldn't be organic. These seeds produce delicious sprouts. We'll buy them again.
