Salba® - A Labor of Love...
About_image
For the past 15 years, the visionaries behind Salba® have been perfecting the balance of science and agriculture necessary to produce Nature's Perfect Whole Food. We are passionate about providing only the highest quality product to our customers. Here are just a few of the things that make Salba® special:

Salba® is farmed in the planet's most optimal climate for the crop: the fertile soils of Central and South America.

Salba® is cultivated using a drip irrigation system, ensuring an even dispersal of water over the entirety of the crop, just as the ancients did.

Salba® is an heirloom crop, which means that only the most nutrient dense seeds are harvested and re-planted to continually yield the most nutrient dense whole food on the planet. Soil is rigorously tested to find the most ideal locations for the next planting.

Salba® is harvested at full maturity, guaranteeing the seeds contain the highest density of nutrients. Other purveyors of similar grains or seeds will often harvest early to produce more crops and turn greater revenue. That's not our style.

Salba® is the subject of numerous clinical studies that guarantee its efficacy.
More Than Just a Grain...
Salba® is the richest whole food source of Omega 3 fatty acids and fiber found in nature. Every serving of Salba® provides over 3,600mg of Omega-3s and over 6g of dietary fiber. Salba® has less than 0.5 net carbohydrates per serving. Gram for gram, Salba® has six times more calcium than whole milk, three times more iron than spinach and fifteen times more magnesium than broccoli. It is all-natural, has no trans-fat, is gluten free, has almost no carbohydrates and is certified Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Kosher and Vegan.

Salba® is the only ancient seed for which there are acute and long-term human nutritional studies. Salba® has been investigated at the Risk Factor Modification Center at St. Michaels Hospital, University of Toronto, Canada, by Dr. Vladimir Vuksan, Associate Professor of Endocrinology and Nutritional Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, in randomized, acute and long-term studies. Clinical results indicate the great health potential of Salba® as a functional food, and is the subject of ongoing study in the field of Diabetic and Cardivascular risk management.

Salba® (Salvia hispanica L) is the only seed that is the subject of a medical patent (60-274.256). This invention is in the field of the management of diabetes and is concerned with dietary approaches to such management. It is concerned with methods of improving associated metabolic abnormalities, specifically with Salba®, and methods of use in these seeds in lowering blood pressure, blood glucose and post-prandial glycemia. Also it is associated with helping risk factors such as inflammatory factors, C-reactive protein, coagulation, fibrinogen, factor VIII, Von Willebrant and fibronolytic factors such as t-PA, iron status and endothelial function.
