Product of the month – sprouted quinoa
ZieglerNatural Products is well known for its uniquely diverse assortment in future cereals (amaranth, quinoa, millet, teff, buckwheat, etc.) – in earlier years regarded as exotic products of minor interest, today gaining full attention by the industry due to their unique nutritional advantages.

Quinoa from the South American Andean area is particularly interesting in vegetarian diet. The small grain is an alternative source of protein covering the full spectrum of essential amino acids.
