What is Quinoa?

Pronounced ‘keen-wah’, quinoa is a nutritious super-grain that is not like wheat or Rice, but rather a flowering plant in the amaranth family, which is primarily grown for its edible starchy Seeds.

What makes Quinoa a healthy food source?

Quinoa is high in fibre, Magnesium, B vitamins, Iron, Calcium, Potassium, Phosphorus, Vitamin E and all nine essential Amino Acids. It is also high in protein too!

Are the products fairtrade?

Yes! Via the Fairtrade mechanism, Quinola guarantee their pay their French based farmers and packing people (with learning difficulties) fairly for their work. This allows them a decent standard of living, regardless of where the market price is.

Are Quinola products suitable for vegans and are they gluten free?

Yes, all Quinola products are certified vegan and are gluten free. Quinoa naturally is gluten free

I hear the packaging is plastic neutral but what does this mean?

Yes, thats right. Quinola's product packaging is plastic-neutral. Being plastic neutral means for every amount of plastic generated, a measured equivalent of plastic waste is reclaimed and extracted from the environment by Quinola via recycling or plastic offset credits. And don’t worry about the maritime carbon emissions, Quinola have taken care of that too!

I do not own a microwave, can I heat the Express Pouches another way?

Yes! You could tip the contents of you favourite Pouch into a pan and stir fry for a few minutes instead, however, did you know you can also consume it cold in your favourite salad too!
