They are all one and the same --CHIA seed an over emphasized seed---that if not crushed or pulverized will cause a great deal of duress in the colon---have had several people use this based on the sales and hype---sprout it and consume the sprouts this will be a better way to use this with out the duress
Seeds this small should be pulverized to a powder and from there use in light amounts due to the constipation they can cause as a result on how they draw water out of the colon. If you do feel this effect then use apple sauce and distilled water several times a day until you rehydrate the colon and the body is able to remove the congestion.

Yes. BenVia Gold and Salba are marketing creations for the simple and highly nutritious Chia seed. It is merely a way to market and sell the Chia seed for a higher price. Forget about it. Buy Chia seed by looking online for the best price. It is all the same. White chia seed is salba. No difference nutritionally. Chia seed comes with mixed white and black seed. All the same. It is just a money makers scheme. Don't believe for one minute that salba or BenVia Gold is better. Forget that the statement is coming from a doctor and any so called expert. I am a doctor and a nutritional "expert" also and I tell you its is the same.
