Quinoa, White, Organic Terrasoul

100% organic white quinoa is usually considered to be a whole grain, it is actually a seed, but can be prepared like whole grains and is a great gluten-free alternative. Our white quinoa is pre-washed and has had its natural saponins removed.

Grown high in the Andes of South America, and known as the "gold of the Incas", quinoa dates back three to four thousand years ago when the Incas used it for increasing the stamina of Inca warriors. This super grain is a complete protein containing all nine essential amino acids and contains almost twice as much fiber as most other grains. The antioxidant flavonoids quercetin and kaempferol are also especially plentiful in quinoa. In fact, the concentration of these two flavonoids in quinoa can sometimes be greater than their concentration of high-flavonoid berries like cranberry or lingonberry. Our quinoa has been pre-washed and is free of bitter saponins. Enjoy our quinoa as a gluten-free substitute for grains.

Founded in Texas by husband and wife team Dennis and Amy Botts in 2013, Terrasoul began as a family mission to create and inspire health in others. With a passion for living and eating well, the couple sought out the best and most nutrient-dense ingredients to feed their family. Through cooking, organic gardening and consistently aiming to instill the message at home that living and eating well are one in the same - health became their journey.

Each ingredient is used and loved by our employees, friends and family, and integrity of the product is of the utmost importance. We do not just rely on the industry standard manufacture certificate of analysis. We independently test each imported ingredient at our laboratory for heavy metals, organic purity and biological contamination. We are SQF Level 2 Certified with an excellent rating and hold organic, kosher, and Non-GMO Project verified certifications.

We operate Terrasoul Superfoods on a fair trade model and seek to offer opportunities to everyone connected with our supply chain. By engaging directly with farmers cooperatives and their partner manufacturers, we are able to offer efficient distribution and access to the U.S. organic consumer, while providing new and rewarding economic opportunities to farmers and indigenous communities. The higher prices they receive for organic superfoods, over normal commodity crops, significantly increases the income opportunities for these agricultural communities.
