Two ideas:

check the nutritional information on the package;

or

Google "nutrition data + chia seeds" or "chia seeds + nutrition information"

OMG...your question is so cool....I have a book on my cocktail table right now called "The Return of the Ancient Seed" by Sherrill Sellman, N.D., foreword by: Vladimir Vuksan, PH.D.

Salba seeds are white and ONLY grown in Peru. Whereas Chia seeds are black mixed with some white and are grown throughout South America. Salba seeds has moe than twice the nutritional value than Chia seeds.
=======================================…

Salba is a nutritional powerhouse. For every 12g (roughly 1.5 – 2 tablespoons) of the seeds, you get:

Calories: 47

Saturated fat: 0.38g

Monounsaturated fat: 0.26g

Polyunsaturated fat: 3.50g

Omega 6: 0.65g

Omega 3: 2.4g

Carbohydrates: 4.5g

Dietary Fiber: 4.5g

(gram for gram more fiber than any known food)

Soluble Fiber: 0.5g

Insoluble Fiber: 3.5g

Protein: 2.5g

(gram for gram 4 times more vegetable protein than kidney beans)

Potassium: 83mg

(Gram for gram 2 times more than bananas)

Magnesium: 37mg

(Gram for gram 15 times more than broccoli)

Calcium: 73mg

(Gram for gram 6 times more than milk)

Iron: 0.8mg

(Gram for gram 3 times more than spinach)

Vitamin B1 (thiamine): 0.09mg

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin): 0.02mg

Vitamin B3 (niacin): 0.86mg

Copper: 0.20mg

Folic Acid: 0.01mg

And has an ORAC value of 840

(Gram for gram 4 times more antioxidants than blueberries)

It is the highest known whole food form of dietary fiber and omega-3 found in nature.

I hope this helps.

PS: If you are worried about an overdose of Niacin from ingesting Chia seeds....you would have to take in about 75 mg or more in order to do that, but if you take only 2 tablespoons daily of Salba seeds, it is only .86 mg; and your Chia seeds is half of that. So you are definitely all good here.
