Kiwi Quinoa is gluten free and a great source of protein and fibre. It can be cooked as easily as rice. As well as being a great base for salads, which many cooks already recognise, quinoa is endlessly versatile and can be used in dishes like chocolate cake, muffins and muesli.
Take a farmer with an itch to do something new and an agronomist with a passion for health food and what do you get? The first quinoa grown in New Zealand! Dan and Jacqui had the idea to grow quinoa in the Rangitikei after travelling through South America and noting the quinoa-growing regions of Peru bore quite a resemblance to home. They harvested their first crop in 2016 with more to follow and now Kiwi Quinoa can be found on Kiwi dining tables nation-wide and have just added red and puffed quinoa to the range.
Kiwi Quinoa is now grown in both the North and South Islands of New Zealand, from the Central Plateau to Canterbury plains.
Kiwi Quinoa is grown spray-free using farming practices that benefit the environment and result in delicious and nourishing quinoa.
Quinoa has been consumed for thousands of years and was known as the “Mother Grain” by the Incas. Native to South America, quinoa has recently exploded in popularity world-wide on the back of a rich nutritional profile.
Kiwi Quinoa has a delicious mild and nutty flavour. It is a saponin-free variety of quinoa which means no bitter aftertaste. Kiwi Quinoa is very light on the stomach and is easy to digest.
Kiwi Quinoa has not been processed or polished. Because of this it retains all of its goodness and has a unique golden colour.
Use Kiwi Quinoa in place of rice, couscous, potatoes or pasta. Use it as a base for just about anything, or a protein boost. Throw it in a salad or curry, make porridge or gluten free baking, use it as a crumb or in a quiche. Kiwi Quinoa is fit for every occasion – from summer BBQ salads to winter warmer soups and chili’s.
It’s as simple as rinse, cover and allow to simmer for 20 minutes until the quinoa tails release. Very similar to cooking brown rice. The beauty of Kiwi Quinoa is that it retains its integrity once cooked and does not go gluggy.
I have been really keen to try your Quinoa since I saw it on Country Calendar. I just had a serving of your Quinoa in my gluten free MyFoodBag and it is hands down the best Quinoa I have ever eaten. (I am a coeliac so eat a lot of Quinoa but this was so good I decided to message you as soon as I finished my meal haha.). Thanks for locally pioneering such an awesome crop.

What’s not to love about the people AND the product of Kiwi Quinoa? The service is fantastic and friendly, the product is great quality, delicious and nutritious. For me, the fact that the quinoa is ‘wholegrain’ is a nutritional and taste-bud bonus. It’s locally grown and I love that! And it’s amazing value for money, most especially as a valuable and tasty protein source. I wouldn't be without it in my day to day pantry OR my emergency supplies.

The flavour... the taste - you can even smell the difference when it’s cooking!
