First off, they were the first brand to bring quinoa to the United States back in 1983. Second, they’re committed to the ethical sourcing of organic, sustainably harvested Royal Bolivian quinoa—they continuously invest in their valued, long-term relationships with the same farmers they’ve worked with from the start. And last, they never stop innovating, so you can trust Ancient Harvest to deliver the most unique, high-quality quinoa and ancient grain products available anywhere. Where is Ancient Harvest quinoa grown? When it comes to quinoa, it doesn’t get much better than Bolivia. The country’s high Andean Southern Altiplano region features low rainfall, high altitude (12,000 feet), hot sun, subfreezing temperatures and thin, cold air—all ideal conditions for this gluten-free ancient grain. Are Ancient Harvest products gluten-free? Yes. Quinoa is naturally gluten-free, as are all other Ancient Harvest ingredients. They produce and pack all of their products in accordance with gluten-free standards, and all of their pastas are certified gluten-free and produced in gluten-free facilities. Interesting tidbit: even though quinoa is considered a grain, it’s not actually a member of the grass family. In fact, quinoa is often referred to as a pseudo-cereal because its seeds can be milled into flour and used like a cereal crop. Are all ancient grains gluten-free? No. Of the nine ancient grains, six do not contain gluten. The gluten-free ancient grains include quinoa, amaranth, millet, teff, chia and sorghum. The gluten-containing ancient grains include farro, kamut and spelt. Quinoa, chia and amaranth are considered pseudo-cereals, which means they are seeds, not grasses, and that they’re often milled into flour like a traditional cereal crop. Which ancient grains are used in Ancient Harvest products? Their current product line uses quinoa in every product, as well as millet and amaranth in their Culinary Ancient Grains blends. But that doesn’t mean more variety isn’t in their future.
