Salba grain, too good to be true? (Read 461 times)
posted: 1/30/2008 at 4:29 PM
HI !

I was talking with a neighbor and he mention that he bough a grain at the health store called "Salba" I looked it up on the net, it seems to be it a miracle grain.... It almost looks too good to be true.

Anyone ever try it or heard about it?


Thanks in advance!

Salba® holds a patent - that does not strike me as being too natural.

Maybe you mean Chia seeds?

Now Chia is a miracle grain. And it has inspired a whole new style of running form.

Nope, Quinoa is the miracle grain. All others are imitators Wink

Quinoa is a fruit, not a grain. Just sayin. Wink

I'd take it with a grain. Of salt.

Pass the salt, JK. I'm ready for a shot of Tequila. Isn't that made from the agave grain?

I sense a dangerous high-jacking approaching.

Happy Snow Day! Nashville may be getting one tomorrow.

You really need to take care of that dandruff issue.

Maybe more grains.

On a more serious note, I'll second the quinoa recommendation. I discovered it late last year and cook with it quite often now.

Here are a few of my early recipes that introduced me to it: http://news.runtowin.com/2008/01/14/add-quinoa-to-your-diet.html

Okay, JK this is going to sound odd (but not as weird as some stuff we read here!) but I was driving down the road yesterday and this big, huge truck pulls up beside me at a light. I looked over and thought that the guy driving looked familiar, but I just couldn't place him. So then all during the red light I kept peeking over when I realized that it was YOU! Your face, with your hair and your sunglasses were in that truck! I burst out laughing thinking that RA is creeping into my real life.

So was it you, driving a jacked-up dark blue, four-wheel drive truck in the middle of Oregon with Washington plates?

You're drinking too fast. Pace yourself.

I was wondering if maybe I'd taken an unconscious trip to Oregon yesterday. But then I realized I have no hair. So it couldn't have been me.

But stop peeking at me. It's scary. And I have this big truck, you know.
