Viva Naturals Organic Quinoa, 4 LB Bag - The Finest 100% Royal Bolivian Whole Grain

Quinoa, the Mighty Grain

Quinoa is an ancient South American staple cultivated from the pristine Andean mountains. It is revered as "the mother grain" and known to be "the gold of the Incas". Aesthetically it is similar to rice, but carries its own unique nutritional profile and texture. Quinoa does not belong to the same family as wheat, barley, oats or rye, making it suitable for anyone following a gluten-free diet.

Nutrition Profile of Viva Naturals Organic Quinoa
Amino Acids:

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Our quinoa is a complete protein source that contains all of the essential amino acids, making it highly suitable for vegetarians who typically follow a plant-based diet. Essential amino acids are those that are not made in the body, and must therefore be obtained through the diet. The U.S. recommended daily allowance (RDA) of protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body mass, or about 0.4 grams per pound. Each serving of Viva Naturals Organic Quinoa contains 6g of protein.

Essential Vitamins and Minerals:

In addition to iron, quinoa contains other essential minerals such as, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and is a high source of manganese. A study published in the Journal of Nutrition indicated maintaining adequate amounts of manganese led to healthy inflammatory pathways and improved joint mobility.

The Viva Naturals Difference

Viva Naturals' quinoa seeds are harvested in the high altitude mountainous regions of Bolivia. Quinoa is threshed from fully matured plants, releasing nutritionally-rich seeds of exquisite taste. Naturally covered by bitter saponins, Viva Naturals' quinoa is de-saponized removing unwanted bitter qualities and offering exceptional flavor. Viva Naturals' organic whole grain quinoa is sustainably grown and sourced directly from farmers in accordance with fair trade practices.
