Organic Bolivian balanda (quinoa)
Bolivian balanda (Chenopodium quinoa) is a hardy plant native to the Andean highlands of South America, such as Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador. Called the “mother grain” by the Incas, kynva has been cultivated for more than 5000 years. Today, it is regarded worldwide as a “superfood”.

Traditional use of the Bolivian balanda
The Bolivian balanda has been a vital food source, providing essential nutrients and energy to those living in the mountains. Because of its high protein content and adaptability, it was often considered superior to other grains.
Bolivian balanda had spiritual significance and was used by indigenous groups in a variety of religious ceremonies.
Bolivian balanda has sometimes been used in traditional medicine for treating ailments such as upset stomachs and skin diseases.

Recently, Bolivian Balanda has become popular all over the world.
Gluten-free alternative – it is naturally gluten-free, making it a safe choice for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
