Quinta Quinoa: Canada’s Superfood + Contest
We were recently introduced to Quinta Quinoa, a locally grown, high nutrient, Ontario quinoa product. Quinoa, typically produced in South America, is a protein packed superfood ancient grain. Over the past few years, the popularity of quinoa has exploded around the world as a low carb, vegan protein option. Quinta has spent the past six years developing quinoa as a local superfood crop in North America. Quinta Quinoa is the first locally sourced quinoa to be produced and processed right here in Ontario, opening up a new crop opportunity for Ontario farmers and increasing agricultural diversity in the region.
The use of rich Canadian soils and a proprietary quinoa seed developed in Ontario through natural breeding (non-GMO) makes Quinta Quinoa nutritionally superior, with twice the protein and four times the mineral levels of standard quinoa. It is the only quinoa on the market to achieve six nutrient content claims including High in Protein, Zinc and Fibre, Excellent Source of Iron and Magnesium, and Source of Calcium.
If you’re not already familiar with Quinta Quinoa, we tested out 2 recipes to show you how it can be the perfect food for the busy North American lifestyle. We made a nutritious Pesto Quinta Quinoa Breakfast Bowl, a nice way to kick start any morning, but can also be enjoyed for lunch and dinner. The second recipe we tested was for a crunchy Chocolate Quinta Quinoa Granola, made with uncooked quinoa!
