Salba® is a registered variety of Salvia hispanica- an annual herb in the Mint family, native to the Valley of Mexico. Ancient cultures to that area and areas surrounding the valley depended on this Super Grain as a vital food source. Familiar phrases such as "Super Food," "Super Supplement" or "Whole Food" we recognize, but how about a "Super Grain?" A grain rich in nutrients including Omega-3's, Antioxidants, Calcium, Iron and so much more; one which benefits all areas of the body including the Cardiovascular & Digestive systems, in addition to enhancing brain and cognitive functioning, as well as helping to regulate appetite, blood sugar levels, and even mood.
Salba Whole Seed can be added to any dish or beverage without concern for taste alteration- Salba has a neutral herbal taste which does not affect or interfere with the original flavors of foods. Salba Whole Seed is best used in sauces & smoothies, and makes a wonderful addition to any salad, roast, or barbecue.
Gram for gram, Salba contains 8 x the amount of Omega-3 found in freshly cooked salmon, 6 x the amount of Calcium found in Whole Milk, and 4 x the amount of Fiber found in Flax Seed. Now that's what we at SeaCoast classify as a Super Food!
