CLEANING EVALUATION

The cleaning process to which "Andina" quinoa is subjected guarantees a final grain of the
highest quality and purity. Since the quinoa is harvested until it is placed in sacks for delivery,
it goes through different stages in which its degree of cleaning is measured. This image
shows, from left to right, the different stages of this process:

1) Freshly harvested quinoa

2) Quinoa subjected to a process of shaking and first brushing

3) Impurities-free quinoa

4) Quinoa final product totally clean.

Throughout the entire process you can notice how the foam in the water is disappearing;
This is the bitter saponin that, at the end of the process is eliminated completely.
