Quinoa
White quinoa is the most widely consumed variety of Chenopodium quinoa, sourced from high-altitude growing regions in Bolivia and Peru where traditional cultivation practices have been refined over thousands of years. As one of the few plant foods containing all nine essential amino acids in meaningful quantities, quinoa commands strong positioning as a complete protein whole grain in premium cereal, meal-prep, and ancient-grain formulations. Supplied saponin-rinsed and certified organic and Non-GMO verified.
Basic Grain works with Andean supplier cooperatives operating under Fair Trade and organic certification frameworks to bring consistently high-quality white quinoa to Canadian food manufacturers. Each lot is saponin-rinsed to specification, and microbiological and heavy metal testing is conducted prior to release.
