Salba is a variety of ancient plant species belonging to the mint family called Chia. Its botanical name is Salvia hispanica L.
The brilliant Aztecs used Chia 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 grown using the same agricultural techniques used for other typical crops. It is sown mechanically and it is not treated chemically in any way prior to sowing. There is NO pesticide applied. Salba® is allowed to ripen naturally and then the grain is mechanically harvested using a modified grain combine harvester. The grain is not subjected to any chemical treatments post-harvest. Once transported to our warehouse, debris such as straw and weed rests are eliminated by a strainer machine. It is then packaged in 25 kg. bags in preparation for shipment to North America where it is stored in a climate controlled environment.
The first experimental plots were started in Argentina in 1991. By 1994 Salvia hispanica had successfully been introduced in Colombia and, in 1997 further experimental crops were done in Bolivia and Peru with excellent results. Now in 2006, most of our Salba is grown in Peru.
