Quinta Quinoa – Canadian Grown Superfoods
Canadian Quinoa Health Story ‘Healthier Today Than Yesterday’
In 2007, founder and CEO Jamie Draves was diagnosed with idiopathic pancreatitis. A rare condition without any known cause, cure or treatment. After losing a third of his pancreas and two surgeries, he built his own healthcare team and adopted a mantra of a ‘healthier today than yesterday’. Together they formulated a health plan, keeping to a very strict diet, in which quinoa was a staple. That was the beginning of his pathway back to health, and was the trigger event to drive his passion and pursuit to develop the highest protein and nutrient quinoa on the market.
