Canihua (pronounced kaniwa) is often called the little brother of quinoa, delivering a similar nutty flavor.
This tiny seed, native to Peru's Andes Mountains, surpasses quinoa with higher levels of protein, iron, magnesium, and calcium. Its rich iron content supports red blood cell production, helping sustain your energy levels throughout the day.
Canihua also provides potassium to bolster muscle strength, along with vitamins B1 and B2. These essentials promote heart health, enhance cognitive function, and protect cells from free radicals generated during metabolism.
Gluten-free by nature, canihua is versatile—substitute it for quinoa or rice, or add it to salads, cakes, and bread for a nutritional upgrade.
