We grow our quinoa in the Netherlands and Belgium
We grow quinoa locally in the Netherlands and Belgium with new low-saponin quinoa varieties. These varieties are adapted to the local climate and are developed by Wageningen University & Research. Quinoa gives our local growers a new crop alternative, fortifying their livelihood security while promoting agricultural resilience.
Our growers do their best to grow the quinoa as sustainably as possible, by for example not using pesticides (for both conventional and organic quinoa) and focusing on regenerative and nature-inclusive agriculture.

Sustainability
Our quinoa has a low CO2-equivalent footprint.
The new quinoa varieties we use have a very low saponin (a bitter substance) content (below taste level <0.11%). This means we can skip the traditional high energy-consuming processing steps such as polishing, washing and drying that remove the saponin-rich outer layer. This also means our quinoa is whole grain. Moreover, our quinoa is grown without pesticides (both conventional and organic) and the focus is on regenerative and nature-inclusive agriculture. By cultivating our quinoa close to our processing facilities, we significantly reduce transport distances and for the processing of the quinoa, we are increasingly incorporating solar energy. The quinoa is purified mechanically with high-end and mild sieving and optical sorting technologies. Because of all of this, our quinoa has a low CO2-eq footprint.
