The company stated to me these were sproutable and were black chia only. These are sproutable but many of them do not actually sprout at all. Also I decided to go ahead and grow a a few of the sprouted seeds. I know they're not marketed for that. I have did this twice with this brand. There ARE atleast two different varieties of chia in this brand. I have two different plants. The brand I used before I only had the one type the original black chia. Those wont flower or go to seed in my zone 6 unless I start them extremely early. I grow them to use the leaves for tea and the rest for composting. In my opinion based on flowering and seed production time at least one is absolutely a hybrid variant because it produced flowers, seeds and way too early at that. One has purple tinged leaves and stalks which I have never seen on an original heirloom black chia plant before.. The leaves shape match so it is a chia variation.
As far as eating them the taste is fine but I probably won't purchase again after the results I mentioned from growing them.
