Our Story
With a family tradition spanning six generations in agribusiness, after developing a deep interest in quinoa cultivation, we began our journey with trips to Peru, and had the opportunity to visit quinoa plantations and immerse ourselves in the richness of this ancient grain.
Each visit to the plantations was an opportunity for learning and inspiration. In direct contact with local farmers, we acquired knowledge and understood the importance of cultivating this millenary tradition in a sustainable and respectful manner.
These trips to Peru not only enriched our expertise but also shaped the DNA of our company. Quinoa, for us, is not just a food, but a source of nutrition, a profound respect for the land, and a connection with our roots.
In 2017, having developed our seed in partnership with EMBRAPA (the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation), and bringing together technology and the quality of the soil, we harvested our first crop and celebrated the success of our journey and our commitment to quality and sustainability. In 2019 we officially founded our company, Quinoa Solutions, marking the beginning of our venture into the commercialization of quinoa.
Our company is proud of being a pioneer in Brazil and establishing the first quinoa processing unit, equipped with state-of-the-art technology. This demonstrates our dedication to offering the highest quality quinoa, ensuring that each grain meets the most stringent standards, while driving innovation in the Brazilian food industry.
Quinoa Maria is a celebration of the diversity and richness of Brazil, inspired by the more than 11 million Marias who lend their name and strength to this country. They represent not just a diversity of names, but also the multiplicity of stories, dreams, and cultures that make Brazil so special.
Our brand celebrates the strength, resilience, and vitality that each Maria carries within, and we are proud to share our quinoa with all the Marias of Brazil, strengthening this unique bond that unites us as a diverse and welcoming nation.
