 WHAT IS THE TARWI?

  TARWI, also known as chocho or lupino, is a grain

with exceptional nutritional value due to its large
amount of proteins, vitamins and minerals.

Its properties were highly appreciated by Andean

cultures since pre-Hispanic times.

It has 41 to 51% of proteins, 28.2% of carbohydrates,

7.1%% of fiber, 15% of calcium 10% of iron.
The potentialities of this grain were studied by the
farmers, who are consumers and attest their
properties, including: 

Its high protein content places it as a nutritional

alternative where meat consumption is scarce or null
and is a great option for the vegetarians.

Tarwi seed contains Lysine, an amino acid essential in

the absorption of calcium and the construction of
muscle tissue. Its consumption is very appropriate for
growing children, pregnant women or those who
breastfeed.

 It has a low carbohydrate content compared to other

vegetables, which makes it ideal for people with
diabetes. It also helps to fight against kidney
ailments.
