White Quinoa Seeds By Somu Foods & Grains

We are pioneers in manufacturing, supplying and exporting of White Quinoa Seeds from Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. Please refer our below International standard processing methods

STEP ONE
Quinoa is transported by truck from the fields to our Anantapur facility. We check for stones and twigs, and pay an extra premium to the farmers for cleaner product.

STEP TWO*
The seeds enter a pre-cleaning phase in which they are passed through large vibrating screens to eliminate twigs, sticks and other larger foreign material that may come in from the fields.

STEP THREE
The quinoa is lifted up into a large vacuum-like machine that extracts all the small twigs that are part of the quinoa plant. The quinoa is heavier than the twigs, therefore it simply drops down to trays below.


STEP FOUR
To further remove the saponin coating, the quinoa is passed through a tumbling and aspiration process. This is an industrial adaptation of the ancient technique of placing quinoa in large stone basins where the seeds are stepped on, releasing the saponin through pressure and friction.

STEP FIVE
The seeds are next passed through a washing process that includes an initial rinse, a wash and a second rinsing. The quinoa is then automatically transferred onto a spin-drier. Quinoa sprouts very quickly, so this entire process only lasts eight minutes.

STEP SIX
To quickly dry the quinoa and prevent water from penetrating into the seed (thereby activating it to start sprouting)
