Product Description

Quinoa originates from the Andean region of South America and is praised for its outstanding nutritional content and adaptability in cooking. It is available in different varieties, including white, red, and black quinoa, each with distinct flavors and textures. It is produced by gathering the ripe seeds from the quinoa plant, which are then cleaned, dried, and de-saponifying to eliminate the saponin coating and prepare the seeds for eating or turning them into different products like flakes, flour, or puffed quinoa.

It is called a superfood, valued for its abundant protein levels, containing all nine required amino acids, and serving as a full protein source similar to animal proteins. It also contains abundant dietary fiber, vitamins (especially B vitamins and vitamin E), and key minerals like magnesium, iron, and zinc. It plays an important role in sustainable farming because it can thrive in various climates and unfertile soil with little water.
