Growing Chia Plants
Hi everyone! When I learned about the health benefits and nutrition of Chia seeds, sprouts and leaves and I found some seeds at the grocery store, I thought it would be a good thing to grow Chia in my garden. It is an annual, that once established, will reseed itself. In this video I plant a few seeds and begin to grow them indoors. I show you how they grew (and how I think they taste:). There are few different varieties of Chia but they share their nutritional benefits and are in the salvia/mint family of plants. I am growing salvia hispanica. Below is a link to a site about growing Chia that I found helpful: http://www.herbsarespecial.com.au/isabells_blog/isabells-articles/chia-crop-potential-and-uses.html Here is the link to wikipedia info on salvia hispanica: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvia_hispanica Thank you for watching!

if you cut the sprouted leaf will it grow back?

Do you place the pot in a dark place and covered after first planting seeds until they sprout indoors or do you just put in a sunny place to get full sunshine? Like a windowsill from the beginning?

Warning the omega 3 is very low. AlA omega 3 only less than. 5,5%omega 3 is converted wich means at least 4,4% of the total AlA ómega 3 is used and converter into DHA 4% and EPA if not mistaken only 0,5%.

Please do not make anymore how to vids, you leave out way too much info and watching them is a waste of time for many of us. I will make a vid on chia and give the people what they want and I'm sure you may have some questions as well. I will be starting my seeds Jan 7 2014 and will do a time lapse vid. Information is power.

I bought some from Walmart for just over a dollar for 1.5 oz with loads of seeds. They were by the flour, yeast and flax seeds I think. Mine started growing overnight. I keep them in a room without much light so I use a 40 watt lamp by them.

So...the seeds?? You were stating that you were trying to get more seeds, no?
