Innovative Quinoa Ingredients
There are many ways to incorporate nutritious quinoa ingredients into food products. At GreenFood50 we never stop innovating and keep developing high-tech quinoa ingredients such as quinoa starch, protein rich flour, crisps, flakes and puffs using mild and sustainable processes.
Allergen, Gluten & GMO Free
Quinoa is naturally free from gluten and other EU-14 allergens. Our quinoa seeds are non-GMO and are grown without pesticides.
Nutritional Quality
Quinoa contains all 9 essential amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids (omega-3, 6 and 9), is a source of fibre & is rich in vitamins and minerals.
Technical Know-How
We apply the latest technological insights, thanks to years of collaboration and co-creation with universities and companies.
Locally Grown Quinoa Seeds
Locally grown, non-bitter quinoa forms the basis of our innovative quinoa ingredient portfolio. We use new quinoa varieties developed by the Wageningen University & Research which have a low saponin content (<0.11%). Because of this, no polishing and washing steps are needed, preventing a loss of nutrients. The low saponin quinoa is cultivated without pesticides and is purified with high-end optical technology.
