What 'parts per billion' means:
Imagine an Olympic swimming pool. One part per billion equals a single drop in the entire pool.
The Quinoa Advantage: Naturally Low in Heavy Metals
High-Altitude Growing
Our quinoa grows above 2,500m in clean Andean soil, far from industrial contamination
No Flooded Fields
Unlike rice, quinoa does not require standing water, which reduces arsenic uptake

We choose regions with naturally low heavy metals in soil
Processing Methods
Our patent-pending process further reduces remaining trace elements
