Over the past few years,  we have seen a huge rise in demand for quinoa within the British consumer market. Not a native crop to Britain, this sudden rise in demand had negative implications on people in South America, who were being deprived of what is one of their staple foodstuffs, as more and more quinoa was being reserved for export.  So at Fairking Great British Seeds, having established a consumer market for British Grown Quinoa, we set about trying to find a variety that we could grow here that wouldn’t have the bitter flavour of our first crops.
