Kiwi Quinoa

Kiwi Red Quinoa is the latest innovation from the pioneers of the local industry Jacqui and Dan Cottrell. In 2012, while travelling in Peru on their OE, they recognised that parts of the landscape looked like the north island Central Plateau where Dan’s family have farmed for four generations. They had fallen in love with the versatility and flavour of quinoa during the trip and Jacqui says that recognition of the geographic similarities provided the genesis to grow quinoa back home in Rangitikei and to develop the industry in New Zealand.
