Quinoa is a unique cereal plant from South American highlands (originally from the Andes) that contains 8 essential amino acids required by our body and is rich in protein, calcium, iron, Vitamin E and B and omega-3 fatty acids.
It used to be a crucial food source before corn became popular in South Africa.
Quinoa has a higher nutritional content as compared with other grains and is the only plant that can provide us with complete nutrition.
With a low glycemic index and a low carbohydrates level, quinoa can help in regulating blood sugar levels, preventing cardiovascular disease and promoting metabolism.
Grown by the local indigenous on the Andes, the organic quinoa is a source of income to them as it is one of the few crops that can still grow under the extreme and dry climate.

Description

Anapqui (Fair Trade Quinoa)

"Sale to Fair Trade ANAPQUI is in a coordinated process. ANAPQUI allows us to directly export without intermediaries."

Anapqui or the National Association of Small Farmers of Quinoa was formed in 1983 as an association of small farmers organized to sell and market quinoa collectively. The mission of the groups is to improve the living standard of quinoa producers of the Bolivian Highlands. The farmers of Anapqui belong to two different indigenous groups of Bolivia: the Aymara and the Quechua people. The group became Fair Trade Certified in 2001 and organic certified in 1998.

Through Fair Trade, Anapqui has experienced considerable export growth. Due to increased trade, Fair Trade farmers are having larger incomes and therefore have been able to improve their quality of life. Cooperative members now have better housing, clothing, more education for their children, greater access to health services and the ability to reinvest additional incomes into their farms and acquiring vehicles for transport.
