5 seconds of looking on Gmarket

Thanks for that. I should have prefaced the post with "reasonably priced" chia seeds. I looked on Naver, Gmarket, Auction etc before and the prices are so inflated. They are 3-5 times more expensive as the US or Canada and for about 1/3 of the quantity. I guess that's what happens when they import the imports.

Anyway, thanks again for your time.

Don't know if you noticed this yet, but here's a great price on Gmarket (a touch cheaper than the best price on iHerb.com, where I got them in the U.S.):

It looks like they also throw in basil seeds on the side. Not sure what one does with those, but I'll figure it out..

Chia seeds are expensive in the U.S., too. Sometimes I suspect that health food fads are designed to empty our wallets.

They shipping is very reasonable and they have a wide range of natural foods:) I placed an order on Monday and got it Friday.

I ordered some off eBay because they were a lot cheaper there... I recommend getting some sold in a container (as opposed to a bag) because my bag arrived ripped open with 1/3 of the seeds gone, seeds flying everywhere and a note from the US postal service about "whoops! sorry about your bag" >.< What a mess...
