Golden Quinoa Flour

Every seed tells a story. In our case, we know the words by heart. We're reinventing new possibilities for ancient grains as versatile building blocks for original food products and nutritious enhancements to trusted recipes.

We like to keep an eye on our products, so we grow them locally. We have rare insight into each harvest, made possible by building lasting partnerships with expert farmers. Source traceability, an attribute historically reserved for winegrowers, our quinoa has origin traceable back to the farmer and the field. That's growing with identity. You won’t find this level of quality obsession anywhere else.

The bravest seed on the continent—our quinoa was among the first varieties to grow successfully on the Canadian prairies. Today, our beloved seed is available in reliable abundance. Prepare your taste buds; this is the highest quality quinoa available.
