How is Salba different from Chia?

• Salba and Chia are from the same species - Salvia hispanica L. - but while Salba is composed of two distinct registered varieties (Sahi Alba 911 & 912), Chia is made up of many different and unregistered wild strains of the species, the nutritional consistency of which can vary greatly. It's a little like comparing a bottle of Cabernet from a single grape variety to table wine made from a number of different grapes: both are 'red wine', but the quality and profile of each is quite different.
• Salba is grown only under strictly controlled conditions in Peru. Due to the resulting nutritional consistency, Salba is the only variety of Salvia hispanica L. that has undergone intensive peer reviewed clinical research with proven beneficial results1. Chia research has confirmed that it can not claim the same clinically proven health benefits2.
• Salba is white and blends easily into almost any food. Chia seeds are mostly black.
• Salba has more Omega 3's, protein, potassium, calcium and iron than Chia.

• 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 drip-irrigation, 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 (salvia Hispanica L) is the subject of numerous clinical studies that support its efficacy.
