According to Canadian researchers, eating salba - a whole grain originating from the ancient aztecs - may lessen cardiovascular risk in people with type 2 diabetes.

[Salba is a whole grain developed from Salvia hispanica L. and produced by Salba Corporation, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The grain is a rich source of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, magnesium, iron, and antioxidants.]

Eating salba was attributed by researchers to eating two of the three recommended daily portions of whole grains, with reduced systolic blood pressure and attenuated cardiovascular risk factors among individuals with well-controlled type 2 diabetes.
