Ive read that the white seeds are superior to the dark seeds. Whats the difference?
They are both chia seeds from the salvia hispanica plant with the white seeds producing white flowers when grown and the dark seeds producing purple flowers. The difference in nutrition is the dark has more protein than white and the white seeds have more linolenic acid (omega-3) than dark seeds. These differences are very slight amounting to less than 1 or 2 points in each protein and omega-3. They are both good for you, but if you are talking to someone who only sells white seeds or someone who only sells dark seeds then theirs is going to be better, of course! The white seeds do cost more and it is only a matter of preference as to what colour you like because they are practically the same and a superior source of all the nutrients chia offers. If you really want the white seeds we can get them for you, just ask.
