Source Salba Giveaway!

I have hinted about this Salba giveaway for a few weeks, and now here it is! Source Salba is giving a selection of Salba products to a lucky Canadian reader. You have the chance to win...



- one bag of Source Salba Ground Organic Salba®
- three Source Salba REAL Whole Food bars
- one box of Source Salba Cinnamon and Apple Krispy Rice bars

...a value of $40! All you need to do is correctly answer two questions about Salba seed, and then post the answer (with your name or blogger profile) in the comments of this post. I will then randomly choose a winner from the comments posted - one entry per person; open to Canadian residents only. (sorry my lovely readers outside of Canada) The winner will be notified on this blog at the beginning of October and we will then arrange to have the prize mailed to you. Please link through for the full contest rules.

So, here are the two questions you need to correctly answer:

1) How can Salba be used as egg replacer in baking recipes?
2) How much of your daily requirement of omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid) do two tablespoons of Salba provide?

Here's the best part about this contest... you have a chance to win this month (Sept), and we will repeat the contest for October, November, and December!

Good luck... go search for the answers!

Hi there! Fun contest.

So, 1) Salba can replace one egg by mixing 2 tablespoons Salba with half a cup of cold water. It will form 1/4 cup gel that is used to replace the egg in baking.

And 2) Each 2 tablespoons of salba provides over 2400mg of omgega-3.

Fantastic blog, books, recipes, writing. Thanks!

hi Dreena,

I found the same info as Chris: 2 tbsp of ground Salba plus 1/2 cup of cold water is equivalent to one egg. Also, 2 tbsps of Salba contains 2400 mg of Omega-3.

Thanks! I'd love to do some Salba samplin'...

This could get pretty repetitive but I would really love to win some Salba-I have only tried it a couple of times and have been quite impressed with all the research so far...
so,
1) Mix 2 tbsp of salba with a half cup of cold water to replace one egg in baked goods.
2) 2 tbsp of salba contains 2400mg of omega-3 fatty acids.

I will keep my fingers crossed. Thanks for bringing us this opportunity Dreena!

2)Two tablespoons of Salba provides over 2,400mg of Omega-3s

Thanks for the fun contest!

Hi Dreena,

2) 2 Tbsp Salba gives 2,400mg omega-3, which is lots! (~2x the minimum recommended daily intake)

Betsy Mae said...

I'm new to the vegan world (trying to incorporate vegan and vegetarian recipes and lifestyles into our regular diet/life) and love your site...unfortunately I had to look up the answers...but here they are anyway.


1. mix 2 tablespoons of salba and 1/2 cup of water to replace an egg

2. 2 tablespoons of salba is equal to 2400mg of omega-3

Clearly my answer must be right so now I hope I win the draw!
thanks.

Janet said...

Great contest, Dreena!

1.) 1/4 cup Salba® Gel as made with 2 tbsp of ground Salba® and 1/2 cup cold water can replace 1 egg

2.) 2 TBSP of salba seed contains 5000 mg of omega 3. When I looked up what the RDI for omega 3 was I was suprised there isn't one established yet! But I did find that Salba's ratio of Omega 3/6 is 3:1 which is great.

1- grind two TBSP salba & mix with .5 cups cold water for each egg sub.
2- Omega-3 Fatty Acid 02.50 g, Omega-6 Fatty Acid 0.76 g, Omega-9 Fatty Acid 00.25 g

Show some love to your East Coast Fans! LOL. :-)

I'm in Fredericton, NB.

You know I'm a Canuck. I see bags of Salba at the Bulk Barn, but have never tried one. I didn't know they made bars and things. Awesome!
OK, the answers I got (thanks for the link)
1- 2 tbsp of ground Salba plus 1/2cup of cold water is equivalent to one egg.
2- 2 tbsps of Salba contains 2400 mg of Omega-3.

Fingers crossed! Thanks Dreena.

Oooh I love Salba - but as I write about it all the time and purchase it on a regular basis, I will opt out of entering so perhaps someone who has never tried the amazing seed can try it and benefit!

September is Salba month on Evolving Wellness!

1 tbsp Salba plus 3 tblsp of salba stirred until viscous can replace an egg.

i was really taken aback when i first saw Salba at a farmer's market (but only because i'd never heard of it)

it sounds great and tastes completely innocuous! i have yet to try it in my recipes...
