Chia vs Perilla Seeds which is worth it

I want to buy a seed that helps in health improvement but I am confused whether to buy chia, or perilla seeds? Which is most beneficial, which is under my budget, what are the benefits, why should I buy and from where should I buy perilla seeds. 

Well! If all the above questions come to your mind, then I ‘ll clear all your doubts. 

Hi, I am Anil, an enthusiastic agriculture practitioner, and I love to explore new crops. After a successful journey with trees like mahogany and poplar I am focusing on seeds. 

I have a seed store in Roorkee city, Uttarakhand and we provide original bhangjeera seeds (perilla) in bulk in India. If you are in a dilemma whether to buy chia seeds or perilla then let me clear your doubts. 

The good thing is both are almost with the same capabilities so you can pick any as per your pocket size and choice. Please see the table clarifying facts related to both. 

I would like to grab your attention towards the most important fact: both contain omega fatty acids. Omega 3 is a much demanded fatty acid due to which most people buy chia seeds. However, most of them are not aware that the same fatty acid in more quantity is present in perilla seed as well. 

So, to save your money you can shift from chia to perilla seeds, however it’s your choice. We in STN are selling perilla seeds in India at the moment. Perilla is grown as bhangjeera in Uttarakhand and popular among uttarakhandi people with bhangjeera name.
