Chia ~ Growing, Harvesting and Saving Seed. An experiment in expanding store bought Chia proves the value of saving seed you buy to expand exponentially your Chia Seed Sovereignty.
Seed Sovereignty is pivotal to our Freedoms and Cultural traditions, our health and well-being. Being dependent on Commercial/Corporate supermarkets for food is extremely unhealthy, costly and soon you may not have the option.
Thank you so much for caring for our planet by sustainable farming and increasing the bee population...
Thanks Bella, much appreciation!
In addition to being a super food, it makes a great cheap cover crop....It germinates very easily and the water requirements are minimal. Besides, I like the flowers too.
And the roots go very deep, so you got more organic matter in the soil = more food for bacteria and nematodes. And glucose for the mycorrhiza fungi during the time the roots are alive.

Couldn't sleep and I found your video I found the answers to all my problems with food growth and sillage and everything that you'd want to do to revitalize the ground I grow more things that have lots of seed pods like that sorghum seed., amaranth.. quinoa..millet... open my eyes to the things that are there seeping around for thousands of years and just all I want the light bulb came on I don't know why I never thought of this stuff before because it is never ending it will keep growing it will keep growing and you can Harvest it all year or all of these different kinds of seeds I just bought every kind of amaranth you can think of all that one that I just recently found I'm going to get the Sorghum seeds next I have chia seed millet I want to get red quinoa.... just thought I'd share my aspirations with you... 2:34 a.m.
Awesome Nicholas! These light-bulb moments are gold and truly help liberate us from being only CONsumers and empower us to be Custodians, where we give much more than we take.. Shine on!!
I love nature chia...😍
I loved your video. Had no idea what chia plants look like until i saw your video, thanks.
Hope you gain more subscribers. From one youtuber to another. Your info is really interesting and helpful. Thanks for showing us how to harvest.
Very nice, hard to find a video like this
I gotta say, I love the music
nice garden and backsound..
I love the music choice of Enya ✨
Also awesome video, really cool how the bees like the plant 🐝
Thanks Darien! It is a beautiful song indeed and really resonates with how magical and ethereal nature is when its diverse and abundant ;)
The winnowing is great fun too!
I tuned in to my neighbour Enya and discover Chia.
Food for body and mind!
Turn it up a little more. 👍
thx for sharing. nice begining song
Great video. Short & Sweet. Very informative.
Chia's Bro❤Sharing the Love from NZ
i've started to grow chia seeds recently. i can't wait to plant some out. your wild garden is so beautiful
The way my mouth dropped when the plants were suddenly brown and the music stops. Lmao!
So glad I found you. Thanks for the video learned a lot. Loved the music it is beautiful.
They are a nice plant and look a bit like lavender. Now I jus learnt how to harvest the seed. I have heard they are an amazing see. Good to see the figures.
Very informative and detailed video. It is very clearly and neatly shown in this video as how to grow your own chia seeds and that too with minimal water requirements. Thanks for sharing this, would definitely love to grow this plan at home :)
thank you for all that you do just amazing love and light to you brother
what a beautiful video! It was like magic fairy dust when you blew the chaff off the chia seeds!lol
Thanks GreenEyedFlower ;) I must make a new one, tiss the season ;) Mahalo
Great Info !! Thanks loved your video.. Many Blessings ☮ ♥
Very nice
Love this, ty for posting
Wow!!! I had no idea it got so big! I thought it was more of a low growing ground cover sort of plant! Can it be grown indoors, just as a houseplant? I live in an apt.
I've that same question
Almost didn't watch this video due to the extremely loud intro music. I'm glad I did; it was very informative and I enjoyed the rest of it's content. Please, though, be mindful of how offputting very loud intro music can be. I'd hate to see you lose viewership when you have a good service to provide otherwise.
Thanks Jenn, I'm glad you liked it and thanks for the heads-up ;)
Jenn Cross I was drawn into watching this video because of the music. Please be mindful of how music can speak to people and make a video enjoyable
David Griffith I totally agree with you.
Religious guy, anoying !!
This made me even more excited to try growing my own chia! I'm from a tropical country, I wonder if this will work but i think this is worth a try. 😊🌾☀
This is so soul satisfying thank you. Many blessings!
Thankyou Angela! Many blessings your way too ;)
you can use the chia stalks to grows mushrooms.
Great video, thank you.
Awesome video! Thank you!
This is awesome! I've been looking how to grow chia.
Thank you! Very helpful......Am excited about growing chia in Costa Rica....just came across seeds in market and there was also qimua which I want to grow as well. Your garden is fantastic! And you are a great teacher!
hahaha so cute when you are cutting them with your tool
Cute ha ;) I thought it's Manly lol..
Thank you👍
LOve this video.. I'm in Southern California and want to grow some chia!! Thank you!
I like your comment in the description back in 2014 "Seed Sovereignty is pivotal to our Freedoms and Cultural traditions, our health and well-being. Being dependent on Commercial/Corporate supermarkets for food is extremely unhealthy, costly and soon you may not have the option" So true.
My mother just phoned me she cannot buy some vegetables anywhere the shelves are empty.
My dear old Aunty told us all ( the whole family of around 80 people) back in 1998 to get out of the city "Sydney" before 2020 and start being more self-sufficient as very hard times are coming. Only one family of 5 stayed my cousin and his family the rest all moved up and down the coast. I sold my house in Sydney and moved to a 6 acer property some 500 kms away from the city eight years ago. Looking back I wish we all moved together as a family unit in the same area safer in numbers.
Than in 2010 my Aunty call a family meeting again. She handed out documentation to us all and told us to read this and stressed to us to read it and make plans based on it as its your future. She said some parts are named as a narrative but make no mistake it is an instruction manual and this is how the end will start or the beginning of the new world which ever way you want to look at it.
I still have it today and one of the documents is the last two years of our life's exactly. I do not mean close I mean exact.
In 2010 I was given this, reading back than of a virus that will start in a place in China called Wuhan (never heard of such a place back then I have now) followed by world wide locking down of the populations around the world and so much more was like ready a fairytale. I have been told this can still be found online the power behind this document is it was printed in 2010.
Its called "Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development".
Food will be the new gold prepare yourselves people. Do not believe the lies our whole history is one big lie
WoW that's really interesting, and yes the convenience of "modern" living is falling apart..Great info and I hope your family is happy and well, I'll read the rockafella doc, I just downloaded it. AmaZing, but their plans are falling apart, too many conscious caring humans, an Army of light
Thank you very much sir, this is my first time seeing it
This is amazing! I'm gonna give this a try, thanks so much for taking us through the entire process!
Helpful. Thanks.
Loved this video and the music, no need to winge.
Gonna give this a go thanks 😊
that song is a banger
我来到地球另一端做农民🌱，以前努力甩掉泥腿子，现在努力做农民👩🌾，我一直觉得自己太没用出息，没有大志向，路过的支持一下我吧，也欢迎来我的菜园
Thanks for making the video. 😂
Am going to try it
i like where he shook the plants :D xD
but this is amazing!!!
very nice
Chia is a great food to have as a staple in the diet in my experience. I have between 3 - 4 cups per week, and have done so for years.
One of the best ways to prepare chia is to sprout it lightly and blend it for 30 seconds in fermented grain water to aid absorption. Even better is to grow chia grass for 2 weeks and then juice it, but this takes more skill to do and is fiddly. The easiest way is to just sprout chia for 2 - 3 days so the tails are about 1 mm, but sprouting too long make it lose it meatiness and taste because it becomes too grassy tasting.
Thankyou for your message and info! I like those ideas ;) So are you a Sproutarian?
I am a sproutarian, the great majority of my food is sprouted, I prefer it that way because l am used to living that way. Often over 99% of my food is sprouted. It is a diet l prefer over other diets.
Sprouted chia paste in fermented grain water is a staple I have for breakfast that keeps me filled all day, and another staple l like is fermented sprouted sunflower kernels with some fermented pumpkin seeds that l blend for 30 seconds so it is like a fermented milk. I drink the later drink after some hydrilla algae to balance the high phosphorous with the high calcium in hydrilla. It satisfies all day.
I also like to do large amounts of microgreen juices and some sprouted grains and legumes in the evening.
WoW that sounds very inspiring! I do love fruit the most so that's my staple, and I have a large garden full of veggies so I don't sprout so much. But I do juice and appreciate the lighter energies of living foods..
Fermented grain water is like Rejuvilac? I'll check your channel out ;)
Yes, the rejuvalic. I haven't done too much on my channel yet, and l do ramble.Even better to check out my website:
www.thesproutarian.com/
I am currently keeping quiet and not posting any video or website content for the next 12 months.I am doing lots of spiritual development and meditation etc so l am not saying much in public at all. I am just focusing on self at the moment. In time l will make the website more practical and relatable and better overall. Being flexible is the key to helping people, l used to be too hardcore and extreme. We all grow and learn.
Different diets suit different people.
Excellent
🎵🎵👌
I think I have the same pan!
Thanks for sharing. I might try growing chia. How long did it take from planting to harvest? I want to make sure there is enough time for them to mature. I wonder how strong the stems of the plants are and it might be interesting to grow with sweet peas or scarlet runner beans. The beans could be good for the soil, which another commenter noted could be ajust issue if growing the same crop season after season. Crop rotation works, too. What are the other beautiful flowers growing alongside the chia?
Beautiful intro and I loved your video.
Could these plants also growing on just sand like lavender and other herbs in Sea climat?
Dear Universe, please send me someone exactly like this.❤ Thanks in advance.❤
Found him yet? ;)
@@SolSurfing I'm curious too
Post pics when you find him.
@hudson Come visit Byron Bay ;)
Good to see another video up,been a while.Thanks for introducing me to Chia.Be great to get this in as a winter cover crop although we are prone to frosts here in Italy from December to Feb. Nice editing by the way. What software are you using?
36Alxmr I just use IMovie to edit :)
lovely idea I don't think I can grow it in manchester UK though it's the north west so it is always raining even now as we speak.
Zed J.. You can Chia plants tolerate good cold and rain weather :)
What's your conversion rate. Because you say 6x more calcium than milk... But do you have to eat 2lbs of chia seeds to get 6x calcium than a glass of milk? Because then it would be easier and more practical to just drink a glass of milk.
Have you seen the benefits of the moringa trees? I’m interested in chia as well. Thanks for sharing
this video gets REALLY G00D AT 4:34😎
Love the plants but we could do without the overly loud music.
Yes
I hit the subscribe button at "wha-hoo!" Jesus is the only way, truth, and the life. I want to small scale harvest my own chia and cereal grains. Good info. What was the mesh filter size you used? I just winnow my seed I take from my garden, but that is not optimal for things like chia. You made it look really easy.
Awesome great idea! I'm not sure of the mesh size, ones about 2mm and the other 5mm
nice video! Idk if im really dumb or what, but i wanted to plant some chia i bought. I was wondering if there was a difference between the "micro greens" like the chia pets, and the actual chia plants? If all plants do start out as micro greens, is there a way to stop the wilting/dying in the micro greens stage? ive googled this but cant seem to find an answer. PLZ help tysm
How manny months to grow till harvest? Im planning in to grow in philippines do you think it can adopt the temperature here a tropical place
Seems like you need to be at least in growing zone 8 to grow chia. Which is a pity since I live in zone 7. Love your video though, I had no idea Australia had any frost at all.
Is it 6% moisture content for eating/cooking or is that just for replanting the seeds? Brilliant video by the way. I remember tossing wheat/barley in the breeze to get rid off chaff ... the good old days.
6% moisture for the seed Dhean! :) Appreciate your comment, thanks!
I am your 1000 subscriber but I'll just mess around
And you mentioned th esilicon dehydrator bags, where does one get them?
is it possible to grow them in Missouri? In containers? I live in town.
Another chia video from California shows quit another plant, they call Salvia Culumbia, it look much different from your Salvia Hispanica. Do you know about that Salvia Culumbia and if that is realy a chia also? See that video here, the first video shot (I selected) shows the ripe seed heads on the plant are much different then yours.
Can you plant from organic seeds purchased from a local co-op?
YES🙂
Great video can you eat the chia leaves ? Thanks for sharing
Yes, people grow them as micro greens.
How do you harvest, by hand because I have a bunch of chia seeds just sitting in my garden
What climate zone and water requirements? Saw banana trees in back ground and frost cut short the season, I'm thinking you could be southeast United States.
+Clayton Wilkinson Oh the frost you saw was the start of Winter and yep the Banana's and the Chia both don't like it that cold. From my growing experience they love water, not too hot and not too cold, feed them some natural fertilizer and you should have a Win! :)
Hello, I had some question about growing the plant?
How many times a day or week do you water the plant? How much water in total?
Will Chia survive winter months or should I grow them inside for winter ? If I grow them inside, would it be good to leave them by the window to get sunlight?
I don't plan on planting allot of Chia, just enough for me and my mother.
+Celestic Rose They do seem to like water so keep them happily watered if you know what I mean. They don't like frost but they do seem to like the cool. You can get quite a lot from a small patch of plants, and for me you can't plant enough, it's very useful stuff!
Celestic Rose, Chia is susceptible to frost, good time to plant is at beginning of rainy season and the plant is drought tolerant no needs a lot water and is a bee and humming bird attractant.
I am preparing to plant organic chia on my farm in August and hope to harvest about 0.5 tonnes or more. Where can i find market for my chia?
At our place in Holland Chia seeds (boutht from the organic food shop) grow almost 2 meter high and dont make flowers (and seeds). You think we have a wrong type (breed) or it is only to cold in Holland?
So when were these plants first put in the ground??
Hello from Venezuela, thank you for share this video. i have a question how long took harvest the chia seed.
megagramos ca Not long at all, when the seed is dry it comes out very easy, and the chaff separates easily with the wind or your breath. One of the easiest seeds to save and replant! :)
Can somebody tell me what to do with the chia seeds plants after they get big
Do you pan for gold? Or is it just for the seeds?
Do you know if sheep and goats can eat the plant? I know the seed is ok in moderation.
Great video! What time of the year should I plant the seeds? I live in Melbourne
probably end of winter!
2 questions how do I get in touch with it programs? and what song is playing in the introduction?
Enya is the artist of the song...love her bit can't remember the name of the song.
Can't I grow in side insect put me off o just got chia seeds today but really wanted to plant them but after watching I thinking I I plant and not eat it it be messing at like look like weet
Certainly the supposed health benefits are the only reason to eat it (speaking personally) but calcium and iron are very poorly absorbed from chia so it isn't quite as good as it looks on paper but I like what you are doing (Bill Mollison was a very early influence on my thinking) and it looks beautiful out there bud.
How many seeds each plant of Chia can produce?
If I may ask do you have any resources on how to grow chia in Maine in New England?
it is a tropical and sub tropical plant, you may grow it in greenhouse, controling light and temperature, must have 12 hrs/day light
What kind of Temperature it will thrive and what kind of soil? Please help! And thank you for posting this video.
From what I learnt it likes Autumn or Spring, not too hot or cold. Loves water, Sun, my soil is pretty poor, but with composted healthy soil it thrives.. An easy, productive one to grow :)
Lilia Schultz.. From acid soil to ph 8
can you eat chia leaves when they are mature? not micro
Yes just like amaranth.
I can't find seed that has not been sterilized !
what is the background music? like it
enya - wild child
Why did you purchase your Mesh at
How can I get the information about this crops
What would you say was your yield?
मुझे काफी कुछ सीखने को मिलता है और और मैं चाहता हूं कि और भी किसानों को नई तकनीक की जानकारी मिल सके, लेकिन मैं यह सोचकर परेशान होता कि सारे किसानों के पास अच्छा फोन कहां होगा जो गांव में कम पढें लिखे हैं, मैं भी उसी तरह का किसान हूँ।
also going to grow chia crop please guide me. iam in indea.
Where can i buy chia seeds for planting
How long does it take before producing its first seeds?
Mine lasted 2 months
what is the temperature required ?
Mine love End of Summer/Autumn, they flower and set seed before winter frosts :) Easy to grow!
