Salba which is actually white chia is one of the highest vegetable sources of omega 3 in nature. Salba also has more fiber than Quinoa 4.2g per 12 grams where as Quinoa has 7g per 100 grams dietary fiber. Salba is also higher in folate magnesium and is very high in antioxidants. Salba blows Quinoa out of the water for its nutrient denseness. Salba is grown in Peru and Argentina and is now being grown in Australia where it is used in a highly nutritious bread. Like quinoa the ancient Aztecs used chia (salba). They called it their “running food” because message runners could run all day on the energy from just a handful of the seed. That’s the story anyway.
