Product Description
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 1 level tablespoon 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®.

A great mild breakfast food,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Salba Smart Whole Grain, 12.7 Ounce Bag (Grocery)
With age, my tummy has decided it doesn't like me very much, and this product gives me a nutritious breakfast, that fills me up and is easy on my stomach.
I enjoy this best when I soak 2 Tablespoons of the seeds in a cup of water or milk overnight. It forms into a gel by the next morning. If I've soaked it in milk, I add a tablespoon or so of Nestle's Chocolate Quick, and it tastes a little like chocolate tapioca pudding. If I've mixed it with water, I add a bit of Tang the next morning, and it tastes like a fruity-flavored slush. Sometimes, I also add shelled hemp seeds and/or cocoa nibs for a little more nutrition and flavor. When I add these extras, I also run it through the blender so I won't have to "chew" my shake. I also like that this has lots of fiber. It doesn't have much taste on it's own, so it takes on the flavor of whatever I'm mixing it with.

Great Nutritional Value - Not an Easy Additive to Food,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Salba Smart Whole Grain, 12.7 Ounce Bag (Grocery)
This product functions as a great supplement to a healthy diet. There is one catch - finding the appropriate meals to make it a part of. When added to a cereal mix with milk, it becomes slimy. When added to oatmeal, product is very noticeable. Look around for suggestions on how to consume. The product does have a taste, is noticeable, and does get stuck in your teeth when consumed. Again, no different than any other potential food additives such as flax seed, but this product is just small enough and hard enough that it is very noticeable when added to any of your foods.

Use it in nearly everything!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Salba Smart Whole Grain, 12.7 Ounce Bag (Grocery)
I use this product in so many things - especially baked goods like breads and muffins, and in pancakes etc. It doesn't have much of a taste, but gives a great little crunch and extra nutrients.
