Salba® is the only evidence based, registered variety of ancient plant species belonging to the mint family known as Salvia Hispanica. Its botanical name is Salvia hispanica L.

The brilliant Aztecs used these powerful seeds to sustain them on long and arduous hunting and trading expeditions and in battle. Runners would relay messages throughout their immense kingdom relying on it for their only source of nourishment.

Salba® is a cultivar of Salvia hispanica L. that has been used in the diets of humans for hundreds of years. The remarkably advanced Aztec nation cultivated Salvia hispanica L. which they called chian, as one of their nutritional foundations. They referred to this as “Running Food” because it provided extraordinary energy and power. Chian was to the Aztecs what Ginseng is to the Orient: the nutritional secret for restoring vigor and prolonging life.

Today, Salba®, Nature’s Perfect Whole Food, is recognized as a super-food with many clinically proven health benefits. Salba® provides essential nutrients, including essential fatty acids (omega-3) and an abundance of both soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. In addition, it is an exceptionally rich source of vitamins, minerals and high quality vegetable protein.
