Their name is I Heart Keenwah because they love quinoa. They spell quinoa using the phonetic spelling to help de-mystify quinoa and to make it easy for people to try this amazing food. Where are the products produced? Their products are proudly made in the USA. Their main production is in the Midwest (in and around Chicago). What are the imported ingredients? I Heart Keenwah's quinoa clusters are made with organic quinoa from Bolivia. They believe this is the most natural, sustainable source for quinoa. They also prefer Bolivian quinoa for its superior quality. Bolivian quinoa, also known as royal quinoa or quinua real, is a larger seed versus conventional quinoa. Bolivian quinoa also has a strong nutritional profile and maintains a nutty, rich taste. They have good relationships with their Bolivian quinoa suppliers, and they travel to the fields annually to monitor their progress. Their quinoa puffs are made with quinoa flour from Bolivia. The dried truffle used in the Sea Salt Truffle Quinoa Puffs is imported from Italy (fancy!). By eating quinoa, is it harming South Americans? While I Heart Keenwah respects the healthy debate that is currently raging about the impacts of the popularity of quinoa on South Americans, they feel that much of the media has exaggerated the negative implications. In reality, there this very limited data available about the true impact of quinoa production on South Americans. From first-hand reports, they know that generally those who live in more isolated communities are able to maintain previous levels of quinoa consumption. While people who live near market centers feel price increases, the increased export of quinoa has in turn lead to a decrease in the cost of imported grains and foods. Now these people have access to a wider range of less expensive foods which they often prefer, as quinoa is still culturally regarded as a “poor man’s food.” Furthermore, increasing cultivation of quinoa is becoming a means to alleviate poverty by creating steady jobs. Of course the expansion of quinoa lands must be done responsibly and sustainably. Maintaining sufficient land for llamas to enhance fertilization is essential, as is maintaining the genetic biodiversity of quinoa. What does it taste like? It tastes like an old fashioned brittle or a sesame bar, only made with quinoa. Why is it so crunchy*? It’s crunchy because they roast the quinoa, which renders it edible with minimal processing. Other processed quinoa products damage the seed’s germ, which houses much of quinoa’s nutritional content. With roasting, I Heart Keenwah retains the maximum amount of nutrients. It also brings out a nutty flavor. *I Heart Keenwah recently added nut butter to their recipe, which reduced the crunchiness a bit, while also lowering the sugar content - bonus! Is the product organic? They use organic quinoa in their Quinoa Clusters, as well as organic sweeteners, dark chocolate, cacao nibs, seeds and rice crisps. Currently the nuts and dried fruit are not organic - but they're working on
