The New Zealand Quinoa Company

In the spirit of our pioneering ancestors, we decided to explore ways of producing Quinoa (pronounced keenwah) right here on New Zealand soil. We figured this ancient South American ‘super grain' with an impressive nutritional profile would taste double as good if we could get it flourishing in New Zealand's natural environment. Our quinoa is carefully and sustainably farmed. It is spray free and we do not use irrigation - all measures to ensure high-quality wholesome food for your family to enjoy. It cooks fast in only 10 minutes, but most of all, it tastes delicious! SHARE THE GOODNESS Us Kiwis are a caring bunch and here at The New Zealand Quinoa Co. we are no different. Your support of our quinoa enables us to donate quinoa to organisations and charities that help feed those in need. What better way to nourish people than through a seriously nutritious, natural product. FAST FACTS ABOUT THIS SUPERFOOD + It's high in protein, with roughly double the amount of protein that is found in rice. + It's Gluten free, GMO-free, has a low GI and is a great source of dietary fibre. + Quinoa contains lots of minerals including calcium and magnesium, as well as antioxidants, vitamins and anti-inflammatory ‘phytonitrients'. + It is one of only six plants in the world that are considered a ‘complete protein', containing the right proportion of all nine essential amino acids that the body can't produce on its own + Even NASA can't help but boast its impressive nutritional profile...
