“Royal Quinoa is a name that refers exclusively to quinoa grown around the salt flats (Salar) of southern Bolivia. Extremes of altitude, aridity, heat and cold deter all but the most determined of life forms; the dusty, saline soil reinforces the warning. This Andean altiplano is a polar desert, distant, astonishing and ancient home of chisaya mama, the mother of all grains. The heirloom seeds of Royal Quinoa typically are one-third larger than quinoa seeds grown anywhere else in the world and likewise the richest in nutrition and taste. ” – Richard Shaw, Pintor de Palabras
