Quinoa, the "Lost Crop" of the Incas, Makes a Come Back Japanese-Style!

Quinoa Crackers with Black Sesame Seeds!

Quinoa is as versatile as rice, but because it contains all the essential amino acids, its protein content is superior to that of most grains.  It is also a good source of manganese, magnesium, phosphorous and copper, and is high in iron content.According to the N.Y. Times, NASA declared that quinoa is virtually unrivaled in the plant or animal kingdom for its exceptional balance of amino acids and life-sustaining nutrients.One of the most sought-after grains by health-conscious consumers around the world today, quinoa has soared in popularity since being considered as a potential "new" crop for NASA's Controlled Ecological Life Support System (CELSS) in 1996.

We have a number of products that include quinoa: Quinoa Crackers, Organic Red Quinoa & Organic White Quinoa, Quinoa Soba, and Quinoa Udon. In fact, our Quinoa Crackers contain 50% quinoa.  It blends perfectly with brown rice (the most versatile grain) and – with its light texture and nutty flavor – brings new inspiration to the traditional Japanese rice cracker!
