VeganSal Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Hey guys.. was just reading about the new vega vibrance bars..with Salba. Anyone tried em or salba? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veganmama Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Yes, I have salba seed oil (aka chia seed, right?) It is supposed to be similar to flax only like... super-flax. ha I don't have any complaints, nor can I say it is the best supplement ever or anything. Sorry, that's not very helpful but if the question is have I tried it? the answer is yes. I can't wait to try the new Vega bars! yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegan Joe Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Yes.I have been using it on and off for a couple of years, more so just within the last 3 months. I make a drink called Chia Freska, that is served in Mexico.Sqeeze some citrus in a glass add some agave syrup and some Salba (chia) seeds stir for a while add ice.I work outside and on hot days and find that it keeps me cool and energized.In my head? Maybe. http://www.salba.com/1/?gclid=CI2K8vfp3JsCFRMUagodpV-v_A Just noticed Brandan Brazier claims they are great on the website above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awakendimd Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Hello everyone. I just found out about salba 2 weeks ago and been adding it to my breakfast for about a week now. Still waiting to feel the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Roc Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 A friend of mine works as a rep for Salba so I get free samples all the time. I put it in my oatmeal. Can't say I feel any benefit from it. Wouldn't buy the stuff but since it's free I'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidR Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I've been eating chia seeds over the past 6 months or so. Usually, we like to use it in lemonade, in a fresca drink, as mentioned by Vegan Joe. I've done some research, and found that salba is no more or less nutritious than regular chia seeds--a collection of black and white seeds. In fact, as far as I can tell, salba was produced simply by culling out the black seeds and propagating the white ones. It seems like all this hoopla about "white" chia seeds and salba is just a marketing gimmick. It allows the marketeers to charge twice as much as plain seeds.

joelk Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I think they're pretty good, I've been using them for ages now. I just get the black and white mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
