Rooted in the past, but rediscovered for the future, Salba is the culmination of almost 15 years of traditional plant breeding solely using Salvia hispanica L. The first experimental plots for Salba were started in 1991.
By painstakingly sorting out the few desirable white seeds from the mostly black and replanting them, a primarily white crop was produced. In the process, the overall consistency of nutrient density was greatly enhanced. This new variety was honored with its own name. Thus Salba was born. The word "Salba" is a combination of the botanical name Salvia hispanica L and the Latin name for white, "Alba".
The Salba farming team would now embark on their long, concentrated effort of plant research that would span nearly 15 years. By 1994, they had successfully introduced Salba in Colombia and in 1997 further experimental crops were planted in Bolivia and Peru.
Today, Salba is grown under strictly controlled conditions in specialized farms all over the world because of their ideal climate, optimal soil composition, and pristine environment that yield the most nutrient-dense seeds available in the world..
