Norquin Brand Golden Quinoa is processed to remove the bitter saponin coating that naturally encases the cylindrical seed. This process involves both mechanical abrasion and a thorough washing with a rapid dry and heat stabilization process. This makes the quinoa ready for use by the consumer or, further processing such as grinding. Northern Quinoa is the only company in North America offering this processed product.

The Quinoa varieties grown on the prairies are said to be more flavourful than the white seeded South American types, while being nutritionally similar. Regulated harvesting, handling, processing and cold storage combine for a clean product, of highest quality, free of much foreign matter and true to product specifications.

Quinoa, a grain that thrives at high altitude conditions, adapts very well to the growing conditions of the Canadian Prairies with our hot days, cool nights, abundance of sunshine, clean air and gentle rains.
