Why Location Matters

bolivia8The truth is that superfoods are not made equally. They may carry the same super name but there are actually crucial differences between the many superfood varieties. One of the key factors that determine these differences is location.

Location matters when you want top quality superfoods. The soil and climate conditions of a place affect how plants grow, as well as how they’re harvested and processed.

Take quinoa, for instance. In the market, you’ll find quinoa brands that distinguish themselves as Royal Bolivian Quinoa. Only select regions in Bolivia can grow this quinoa variety.

For this superfoodvariety to grow, there are specific criteria that need to be met. The farms should be at high altitudes. There should be little rainfall, subfreezing temperatures and thin cold air. The hot sun should shine on the farm on most days.

These conditions are the required conditions for growing Royal Bolivian Quinoa (RBQ). Anything less results in inferior quality quinoa.

There are distinctions between the average quinoa and Royal Bolivian Quinoa. (And no, this isn’t the marketing put into the products.) Royal Bolivian Quinoa is notable for its taste and nutritional content. It packs a little more health value compared to other quinoa varieties. Royal quinoa also comes out fluffier when cooked, which is the ideal consistency. It is quite easy to distinguish from, say, quinoa from Peru, which is smaller than RBQ.
