Quinoa Sprout Activated, Organic (500 G)

Sprout-Activated Quinoa – Grown with Intention at Goodness Farm

Quinoa is not an indigenous Indian grain.
And at Goodness Farm, we believe it is important to say that clearly.

Originally native to the Andean region, quinoa has earned global recognition for its complete protein profile, rich mineral content, and gluten-free nature. Instead of importing it blindly, we chose a more responsible path — to cultivate quinoa as it supports the millets when grown as intercrop.

🌾 Why We Grow Quinoa at Goodness Farm

Our philosophy is simple:
If a grain is to be part of our food system, it must be grown ethically, processed gently, and consumed mindfully.

We cultivate quinoa at Goodness Farm because:

• It supports plant-based protein needs

• It grows well under controlled Indian agro-climatic conditions when intercropped with millets.

• It offers a valuable option for gluten-free and gut-sensitive diets

• Local cultivation reduces import dependency and carbon footprint

By growing it ourselves, we maintain traceability from seed to harvest, just like we do with our indigenous grains.

🧬 The Importance of Sprout Activation

Raw quinoa naturally contains saponins and antinutrients that can affect digestion and mineral absorption.
This is where Sprouting® makes all the difference.

Through sprout activation:

• Saponins are significantly reduced

• Phytic acid levels decrease

• Digestibility improves

• Protein and mineral bioavailability increases

• The grain becomes lighter on the gut and more flavour-balanced

Sprouting transforms quinoa from a “health trend grain” into a truly nourishing food.

🔥 Processing with Care

Our quinoa is:

• Carefully cleaned and washed

• Soaked and sprout-activated

• Sun- or low-heat dried

• Minimally processed in small batches

No polishing.
No chemical washes.
No shortcuts.

🌿 How We Recommend Consuming Quinoa

At Goodness Farm, quinoa is not a replacement for our indigenous grains — it is an occasional, complementary grain.

We encourage:

• Rotational consumption with millets and traditional rice

• Simple preparations like khichadi, pongal-style dishes, salads, or porridge

• Pairing with dals, vegetables, and ghee for balance

Food diversity, when practiced consciously, strengthens nutrition without eroding tradition.

💚 Our Honest Stand

We champion indigenous grains first.
But we also acknowledge that nutrition is evolving.

When we include a non-native grain like quinoa, we do so with:

• Local cultivation

• Sprout-based processing

• Scientific understanding

• Cultural sensitivity

This is not adoption for trend —
this is adaptation with responsibility.
