Quinõa crackers are an excellent alternative to bread, either to accompany meals or as a tasty and light snack. The delicate flavour of quinõa crackers, created through the ideal combination of quinõa seeds, wholegrain rice and ancient corn, allows them to be combined with all types of food both sweet and savoury. Providing a delicious base for flavoursome dips or for cold cuts and cheese, rice and quinõa crackers are also perfect for a crispy aperitif that is easy to prepare.

Now available in a new more fragrant and tastier format, Agrigal quinõa crackers are a snack that offers a wide range of nutritional advantages that are hard to resist.

Corn and quinõa crackers enriched with wholegrain rice are crispy crackers pressed at a controlled temperature and made exclusively with organic ingredients.

A careful study of the various steps required during production allows all of the properties of the ingredients used to be maintained. Furthermore, by adding wholegrain rice and quinõa seeds to our classic corn crackers, we provide them with a sophisticated flavour and the right nutritional values. Their delicateness, their intense flavour and that decisive touch create a perfect and irresistible combination.

This small seed from South America has for years been the main vegetable source of nutrition for the indigenous people of the Andes, long before becoming part of our diet.
The quinõa plant is similar to spinach and has rich foliage that can be used in many recipes. The most commonly used part is the seed, which is covered by a bitter protective layer that is removed during the cleaning process.

Properties:
The quinõa seed is considered a pseudocereal, due to its cereal-like characteristics, while the fact that it belongs to the Chenopodiaceae family sets it apart from grasses. Devoid of gluten, quinõa-based products are an excellent alternative for sufferers of coeliac disease.
Quinõa seeds offer countless benefits for the organism and are recommended for a healthy diet. They are rich in vitamins such as C and E. A diet characterised by the frequent consumption of quinõa seeds is particularly beneficial for the circulatory, intestinal and muscular systems thanks to the presence of mineral salts including magnesium.

Calories:
Thanks to the nutritional content of quinõa seeds, recipes prepared with this "cereal" are also recommended for those who require high levels of energy throughout the day. The calorie content of quinõa is in fact remarkably high, and this is why it is considered a "super food" that provides a lot of energy. 100 grams of quinõa supplies approximately 350 calories (for further information consult the nutritional values table).

Why use quinõa for pressed crackers?
Our quinõa crackers are the result of our desire to create a health snack that is full of energy, concentrated in a compact format and easy to carry. An important source of energy, they are also suitable for those that practice intense sport activity and pay particular attention to diet and to the number of calories that they assume. Remember that high energy values do not correspond to high fat levels, and this is why we recommend our quinõa crackers, but without exaggerating, because once the packet is open, the real challenge is to not eat them all!
