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 the product taste like? Each flavor is completely unique: Aged Cheddar is like a healthy cheese puff. Herbes de Provence contains French herbs and garlic and almost tastes like a crouton. Sea Salt Truffle is made with real truffles (aromatic mushrooms that grow on the roots of hazelnut trees) so it’s earthy and salty. Sweet Chili starts out a little sweet and ends with a kick. Why is it so crunchy? I Heart Keenwah wanted to pack these puffs with nutrition - so they skipped the corn. Plus, that helps them to keep the ingredients non-GMO as corn is often a GMO ingredient. Anyway, it’s more fun to be crunchy. Are the quinoa puffs fried? No. They are baked. This allows them to use less oil and keep the calorie count in check. What is disodium phosphate (Aged Cheddar)? It’s an ingredient that keeps the cheese powder from caking. It is not considered hazardous by the Environmental Working G
