No, they are different seeds coming from different plants. Nutritionally chia seeds are more rich in some minerals but flax seeds - in omega-3 although both contain the same nutrients overall.

Both are great source for B vitamins too.

Other difference is that flax seeds are more available on the market thus more popular at the moment.

Flax seed meal is just ground flax seed. Although you should check and make sure on the package that it is 100% flax seed. There are varieties ( I know of one offered at Trader Joe's) That does contain blueberry and other additives. So be cautious when choosing your flax seed meal.
