Salba Super Grain (100% Pure Salvia Hispanica L) - 1lb.

Possessing an astonishing assortment of oils, vitamins and minerals, Salba? is the ''perfect functional food''...straight out of the ground! Salba?, a white variety of the ''Salvia Hispanica L'' plant was part of a 6-month study, headed by famed scientist and pioneer of the functional foods movement, Dr. Vladimir Vuksan - one of the developers of the revolutionary glycemic index at the University of Toronto, the same university where in 1921, Dr. Frederic Banting discovered insulin and won the Nobel Prize for Medicine. The article, ''Seeds of Wellness: Return of a Supergrain'' in The Saturday Evening Post (Nov/Dec 2005), details many of Dr. Vuksans? findings on Salba?. Here are just a few of the many superior nutritional properties he discovered: The highest known whole food source of omega-3?s found in nature;(3 ? ounces of Salba? contain as much omega-3 as 28 ounces of Atlantic salmon) More calcium than 3 cups of whole milk Higher, and more bioavailable protein content than soy, and more vegetable protein content than 1? cups of kidney beans Highest natural fiber content of any food?more fiber than 1 1/4cups of All-Bran cereal The iron equivalent of 3 cups of raw spinach The Potassium content of 1 1/2 bananas As much Vitamin C as seven oranges Antioxidant capacity three times the strength of blueberries with Myrecetin counts 270 times the strength of red wine Diabetic Safe Celiac Friendly In their summary findings, Dr. Vuksan and his colleagues concluded Salba?, ''could be considered the world?s most nutritious food crop and thus can be used as a global remedy for world hunger.''
