R&D Manager
The new quinoa varieties we use have a very low saponin content (a bitter substance). This means we can skip the traditional high energy-consuming saponin-removal steps such as polishing, washing and drying. This means our quinoa is whole grain.
Moreover, all our quinoa is grown without pesticides and our growers focus on regenerative agriculture. By cultivating our quinoa close to our processing facilities, we significantly reduce transport distances. Furthermore, we are increasingly incorporating solar energy to dry and process the quinoa. As a result, our quinoa has a low CO2-eq footprint.
