Salba Smart Premium Ground Grain, 6.4 Ounce Bag Review

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®.

Salba Smart Whole Grain, 12.7 Ounce Bag Review

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.

Salba - Whole Seed Review

Salba - Whole Seed

I tried this product after reading research regarding the excellent nutritional value of the product - high level of omega 3, high fibre content, high calcium and iron levels in addition to its impact on glycemic levels and cholesterol. The research was conducted by St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto and was led by a professor of Medicine from the University of Toronto. After trying it out for a month, I have noticed an improvement in my energy level and surprisingly, some inadvertent weight loss. It turns out that since this product absorbs water, it acts as an appetite suppressant as well. I can't say enough about this and highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to boost energy and add nutrients to their diet. I usually add this to cereal, but have also sprinkled this onto blueberry muffin dough before baking. Surprisingly light nutty taste that does not interfere with anything I add it to. I recommend the whole seeds rather than the grain which tends to make liquids thicken up almost immediately.
