Puffed quinoa gains traction
The team at Chaquis Natural Foods Inc. sees more to quinoa than a side dish or salad-base – they see it as a key ingredient in foods that can be anywhere at any time. For example, the company’s new line of Quinoa Krunch bite-sized snacks predominately feature puffed-quinoa. The new line includes a yogurt and chocolate coated option as well as a plain variety that President David Orosz says is an ideal children’s cereal and lunch snack to replace sugary and salty alternatives.
