Ancient Harvest Pre-rinsed Organic Quinoa, Traditional, 12 Ounce-packaging May Vary

Quinoa, often misspelled as Kenwah, pronounced “Keen-whah” is a seed that originated thousands of years ago in the Andes Mountains. It has more protein than any other grain or seed and has often been called “the gold of the Incas.” It is very nutritious and can be a great addition to almost anyone’s diet. It has high protein, low fat and calories, high fiber, and has a low glycemic index, which is good for blood sugar regulation. It’s also high in antioxidants.

Ancient History

At Ancient Harvest, we’ve been cooking up modern versions of ancient foods for more than 35 years. We started all the way back in 1983 when we were the first company to bring an interesting ‘new’ grain called quinoa to the United States. We loved the versatility and timelessness of this plant-based powerhouse, and began our commitment to sourcing the highest quality quinoa and supporting the farmers who grow it.

We’ve been doing work with the same quinoa farming communities since the beginning, and have helped them to achieve organic certification, improve their yields and implement sustainable farming practices. Today we sell several other foods and food products, but quinoa is still at the heart of our business. Ancient grains like quinoa remain the foundation of everything we create.

We value our partnerships with the local communities, involving them in the decision-making process and empowering them to co-fund local projects, such as the development of a new road to help them access new fields and engage in new tourism activities.

Our goals are to work with integrity, to bring you delicious plant-based foods, and to change the way the world thinks about food. Welcome to the Ancient Harvest family.
