The product is great We try to eat quinoa in some form at every meal. As it stands alone it is great tasting. The Alter Eco is our favorite...fantastic as a cereal, cooked and kept in the refrig. added to plain yogart and fresh fruit. Added to soups and stews and as a great side dish....you can also flavor it with different tasting broths as well as with roasted pine nuts and cinnamon. The Alter Eco gives a clean pure taste.

Cultivating the world’s finest quinoa
13,000 feet up on the arid, desolate Salar De Uyuni salt flat of Bolivia, traditional Quechua and Aymara farmers tend to fields of highly coveted “quinoa real,” or royal quinoa, an ancient variety grown only in this very spot. This pearl-shaped, nearly perfect nutritional source was so revered by the Incas that they called it “chisaya mama” or “mother grain.” When you taste our fluffy, flavorful Royal Pearl Quinoa, you’ll understand why.

Whole Grain contains all 8 essential amino acids.

For Alter Eco partners at Anapqui Co-op, fair trade practices and organic farming mean:
» 180 Villages building a better future
» 50,000 Native trees being replanted
» 98,000 Llamas to support healthy soils
