Sevenhills Wholefoods Organic Raw Royal Quinoa Grain 1.8kg

Description

Organic Raw Royal Quinoa Grain. Quinoa (pronounced 'Keen-Wah'), is an Andean plant, originating in the area surrounding Lake Titicaca in Peru and Bolivia, where it is believed to have been cultivated for the last 7000 years. During the age of the Incan empire, quinoa was an important, sacred crop, and referred to as the mother of all grains. Quinoa grown in Bolivia is known as 'Royal Quinoa', and is considered to be the highest quality of quinoa in the world. The result is a larger, rounder seed that tastes nuttier and fluffier once cooked than any other variety. Similar to amaranth, quinoa is known as a pseudo-cereal, and is prepared and eaten in a similar manner to a grain. Sevenhills Wholefoods' quinoa is grown in Bolivia at an altitude of approximately 12,000 feet above sea level, in an area surrounding the 'Salar de Uyuni' - the dry, arid salt flats of the Bolivian Antiplano. This region has extremely harsh weather conditions, coupled with intense seasonality, which as a result makes quinoa incredibly durable.
