Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I prefer the whole grain to the ground seed. When mixed with liquid (about 2 Tablespoons of Salba to 1 cup of liquid), it forms a gel. The whole grain has the consistency of tapioca pudding; the ground salba is a bit too gritty for me, even after it gels up. Whatever form one uses (ground or whole grain), Salba (chia seed) doesn't have much flavor of it's own, so it takes on the flavor of whatever I mix with it.
I do like that it has omega-3 (which is good for my heart) and fiber (which is good for my digestion).

Salba (Salvia hispanica L.) is grown under strictly controlled conditions in the fertile soil of Peru using traditional and cutting edge agricultural techniques creating a nutritional consistency that is not found in any other varietal of chia.Salba is not treated chemically in any way prior to sowing, and there are NO pesticides applied at any time. Salba is allowed to ripen naturally before harvesting and is not subjected to any chemical treatments post-harvest.Packed full of vital vitamins, minerals, fiber, and essential fatty acids, Salba is ideal for boosting physical activity, increasing the nutrient intake of aging populations, on-the-go meals, adolescents and children, women's health, weight loss, vegetarians, gluten free, and other specialty diets.Salba has been investigated at the Risk Factor Modification Center, St.Michael's Hospital, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada, by Dr. Vladimir Vuksan, Professor of Endocrinology and Nutritional Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, in randomized, acute and long-term studies. In the acute study, Salba reduced after-meal blood glucose and plasma insulin levels, compared to control. In a long-term trial (12 weeks), Salba reduced blood pressure, the major cardiovascular risk factor in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes. In the same study, Salba proved to be effective with respect to reduction in inflammation and coagulation factors. These unexpected clinical results indicate the great health potential of Salba as a functional food, to be used as a novel agent in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.Salba's low flavor profile makes it an excellent addition to any food.Add 2 level tablespoons sprinkled on your cereal, blended in a smoothie, mixed in yogurt or baked in your favorite recipe.The possibilities are endless!Salba really is 'Nature's Perfect Whole Food"'!Visit www.salbasmart.com for more information, benefits, recipes, and products made with Salba.
