Keen One Quinoa began in 2007 as a class project at the University of Colorado. We were cash-strapped college students determined to enrich our unhealthy diets with the nutritious power of quinoa, and we wanted to share our passion with others by producing tasty and nutritious quinoa products. Thus, Keen One Quinoa was born!
Our mission is to promote sustainability by sourcing from Fair Trade cooperatives, so we travelled from town to town across the Bolivian highlands until we found the perfect supplier, and now we are proud to provide you with the world's best quinoa!
Keen One Quinoa promotes creative meals, healthy living, and sustainable communities by sourcing organic quinoa from Fair Trade cooperatives of the Altiplano Highlands of Bolivia. Our products are certified organic and produced in a naturally gluten-free and non-GMO facility.
