Organic Tricolour Quinoa is typically grown and harvested in the Andean region of South America, particularly in countries like Peru and Bolivia. The quinoa plant thrives in high altitudes and is usually sown in well-drained, sandy soils with plenty of sunlight. The harvesting of quinoa usually takes place in the months of April and May, as the cooler temperatures are ideal for the plant's development. After harvesting, the quinoa seeds undergo a thorough cleaning process to remove the saponin coating, which can impart a bitter taste. The seeds are then dried and can be further processed into various forms such as flakes, flour, or simply packaged as whole seeds.

The composition of tricolour quinoa consists of three varieties of quinoa seeds - white, red, and black. These seeds are naturally rich in essential nutrients such as protein, fibre, and various vitamins and minerals including iron, magnesium, and B-vitamins. Tricolour quinoa exhibits a visually appealing combination of white, red, and black seeds, adding vibrancy to dishes.

The organic nature of means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

You’ll receive your Organic Tricolour Quinoa in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
