Keep your sproutable seeds in their sachets at room temperature in a dry place.
The fresher they are, the better your sproutable seeds. If you do not use them immediately, keep them for a few days in the fridge, preferably in a closed recipient, and covered with Clingfilm.
Quinoa comes from the Spanish word “quinua”, itself derived from the quechuan word “kinwa”. The Incas called quinoa “chisiya mama”, which means “mother of all seeds” in quechuan. It’s a traditional plant that has been grown for over 5,000 years on the high plateaux of South America. Today, quinoa is still a central food source among the Indians of the Bolivian Altiplano.
Packaged in France, in 200g sachets.
Germination increases the seeds’ natural vitamin content and promotes the body’s assimilation of minerals.
