No, one is an oil and the other is a grain.
Yes. 'Salba' is the brand name for white chia seeds. There is a claim that the white seeds are a super-powerhouse grain, however, studies show that the darker seeds are just as good. Use an organically grown chia.
yes.
Salba is a seed that is considered to be the most nutritious. Salba has more omega 3 than what's in a fish and is considered to be gluten free, vegan, and kosher.
Why don't you google Salba and find the main company web page?
No. Both are "pseudo" grains because they are actually seeds and both are extremely good for you. Salba is made from chia seeds and quinoa is from the quinoa seed. Both originated in South America and have been used for centuries. Quinoa should be soaked before cooking and the cooking ration is 2 parts water to 1 part quinoa. Chia can be soaked or eaten raw. If soaked, the ratio is 9 parts water to 1 part chia (or salba) and it makes a gel that can be used in smoothies or gravies or just about anything. It does not dilute the taste of food, and has an extremely mild taste. Actually the taste of quinoa is quite mild as well. Both have a slightly nutty flavor. Both seeds are great for vegetarian diets as they have protein and quinoa has all the amino acids, which is quite unusual for a 'grain'.
Yes. ben via gold and salba are marketing creations for the simple and highly nutritious chia seed. It is merely a way to market and sell the chia seed for a higher price. Forget about it. Buy Chia seed by looking on line for he best price. It is all the same. white chia seed is salba. No difference nutritionally. Chia seed comes with mixed white and black seed. All the same. It is just a money makers scheme. Don't believe for one minute that salba or ben via gold is better. Forget that the statement is coming from a doctor and any so called expert. i am a doctor and a nutritional "expert" also and I tell you its is the same. For your future information an expert is anyone who lectures more than 200 miles from their home. Thats me.
Health food stores (look for Chia/ Salba, yes, it is the same) and even some bulk stores.
Loblaws health food section regularly marks down their salba. I paid 6 dollars for the pouch size. Lucky I guess, but check Loblaws when you are there.
They are all types of grain, but they are not the same grain.
Steve Alba goes by Salba.
Grain with oil inclusions is a petrographic technique used to identify palaeo-oil zones in clastic rocks. It helps scientists understand the movement of petroleum in the subsurface.
