Kunachia (PRNewsFoto/Kunachia)Kunachia is at the forefront of innovation, taking an ancient superfood and combining it with the latest technology to amplify health benefits.

In addition to its numerous health benefits, Kunachia also has many social benefits. “Kuna” means “to give” in the Quechua language, and it reflects the company’s commitment to offer consumers nature’s most powerful superfood, while also benefiting Ecuadorian farmers and their families. These farmers harvest chia through the “Kuna Project” which has one objective: to

improve consumers’ quality of life with better nutrition. Through the ‘Kuna Project’, Kunachia follows fair trade practices; promoting new jobs and an alternative crop cultivation process to benefit the economy of the communities in the area.
