THE ORAC VALUE OF SALBA IS EXTREMELY HIGH
Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) provides us with a method of measuring the overall antioxidant power of foods and supplements. Antioxidants are essential to good health, especially with respect to aging and age related disorders. Scientists have learned that phytochemicals, including antioxidants, increase our resistance to disease and boost immunity. Hence the recommendation of 5-9 servings of fruits and vegatables each day.
Simply put, the higher the ORAC value of food the more antioxidant power it contains. The focus on "foods" is significant as scientists have found that antioxidants are most effective when received from a whole food.
The chart below shows the fruits and vegetables found to be highest in antioxidants. ORAC numbers shown are for 100 grams, the higher the ORAC number, the greater the amount of antioxidants in the food.
3,000 to 5,000 ORAC units per day are required
Studies show that the average person gets only about 1200 ORAC units per day from 3 servings of fruits and vegetables.
However 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC units per day are required to have a significant impact on plasma and tissue antioxidant capacity.
The analysis we just had done by Brunswick labs showed
that the total ORAC value of Salba grain is 70 TE per GRAM. TE stands
for triox equivalents. The hydrophilic is 68, and the lipophilic is 2,
to give the total of 70!
This is an extremely high value. To put this into perspective, Salba, a
whole seed, has a higher level of antioxidants than blackberries, strawberries, bluberries, grapes,
raisins, prunes, broccoli, cherries, spinach.
The good news 2 tablespoons (12g = recommended daily) Salba contains about 840 ORAC units!
4 tablespoons of Salba contains about an ORAC value of 1680, this is 56% of your daily ORAC needs.
Scientists have determined that whole plant foods which are high in antioxidants are more effective for good health than isolated antioxidant supplements.
ORAC VALUE PER 100g
Salba 7,000
Prunes 5,770
Raising 2,830
Blueberries 2,400
Kale 1,770
Cranberries 1,750
Spinach, raw 1,260
Broccoli 890
Grapes, red 739

ORAC VALUES THAT WILL SURPRISE YOU....(PER 100 GRAMS)...

Hmmm...I looked this up after reading some hype about this great new "AntiOxidant" rated at 450!!!!
are we getting stupider...????
The above data was taken from:
S. Bhagwat, D.B.Haytowitz, and J.M.Holden
Nutrient Data Laboratory, Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center,
Beltsville, MD 20705
So...with all the hype about "ORAC" it seems the old saying goes...
"An APPLE a day keeps the DOC away...!"
Oh...and another thing...I hate it when large corporations PATENT A FOOD...
"CHIA" (SALVIA HISPANICA) IS NUTRITIONALLY IDENTICAL TO "SALBA" AND IS 1/3 THE PRICE...DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE IT'S A SEQUEL...AS AN EQUAL CAN I GET THIS THROUGH TO YOU...
AND ANOTHER THING...THE MAYANS AND PERUVIANS DID NOT HAVE "SALBA" BACK IN THOSE DAYS...IT WAS ACTUALLY THE NATURAL "BLACK" CHIA SEED THAT THEY ACTUALLY ATE....
STOP HYPING YOUR PHONY FOOD FOR MLM GAIN....AND YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED AT YOURSELVES FOR PATENTING A SEED...YOUR AS BAD AS MONSANTO AND ALL THE REST OF THE CHEMICAL CORPORATIONS OUT THERE....
CHIA (SALVIA HISPANICA) IS NUTRITIONALLY IDENTICAL....AT 1/3 THE PRICE...AND CANNOT BE PATENTED AND HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED BY BIG PHARMA FOR PROFIT....
UNO is Numero UNO !!!! Well done Uno, I could not of said it better.
When Salba Co. has to come down to the blogs to beg borrow and steal then we know they are worried about the Aztec Black Chia!
Their copywriter should be raked over the coals after they are fired for absolutely false and misleading comments like: The Aztecs having been around from 3,500 BC as they claim on their ad to the right of the Blog'
The Aztecs on Lake Tezcoco (now, Mexico City)were around for roughly 400 years between late 1100 AD and 1500 AD ...boy, was he off a bit. The toltecs were before the Aztecs for much longer and the Olmecs could date back to 3,500 BC maybe.
Anyway, Salba's ORAC is really quite low (actually very low) by Chia standards, they should get their facts right.
We grow Chia in Aztec country and just got back an ORAC of 122 and from Brunswick Labs to boot, the same they used. And no, I am not going to Hype up our crop. just give another "Shout Out" to UNO the NUMERO UNO !!!!!
