Organic White Quinoa
For over 6,000 years, the people of the Andes Mountains have been producing one of the healthiest and hardiest grain-like crops in the world: quinoa. The grain was one of the primary crops of the region, and was considered to be so sacred to the ancient Incans that they named it “The mother of all grains”, and used it in their elaborate religious ceremonies. Unfortunately, when the Spanish colonizers took over the region in the 16th century, they considered its use heretical, and subsequently banned it from being grown and consumed. Fortunately, recent years have seen the resurgence of quinoa seeds as a food source, and modern scientists and nutritionists have vindicated the Incan’s reverence for the grain.

Spirulina Powder
The seas and oceans of the world are also a prime source of natural functional foods. Of these foods, spirulina, microscopic blue - green algae, is the one of the most nutritious and best known. It is a single celled type of algae that lives in warm fresh water bodies. Spirulina has been in use as far back as Aztec times, when it was used as a staple food source by the natives. The Aztecs would use ropes to skim the floating algae off the surface of the lake and allowing them to dry into cakes that would later be consumed as a condiment or used in broths.
