Product Use |
Quinoa plants are grown to maturity, typically 90 to 120 days after planting. The mature seed heads are harvested, and the seeds are air-dried to reduce moisture content while preserving nutritional value. Once dried, the seeds are cleaned to remove chaff and impurities. The cleaned seeds are then finely ground into a uniform powder using specialized equipment. Finally, the quinoa powder is sieved to ensure consistent particle size and carefully packaged to maintain its quality and freshness.
