Background Info

Our snacks are crafted using premium local ingredients from Peru, many of which are grown in the Lurín Valley, just south of Lima.

Often called “El Último Valle Verde de Lima” (The Last Green Valley of Lima), Lurín is a fertile agricultural region where farmers have worked for generations to preserve farmland and restore greenery along the Lurín River.

This valley has been an important center of agriculture since ancient times, long before the rise of the Inca Empire, when the Pachacamac civilization cultivated the land.

Today, local producers continue that tradition by growing grains, fruits, and ingredients that bring life back to the valley.

Artisan Production

These bars are crafted in small batches using traditional preparation methods, combining wholesome grains, nuts, and fruit into a balanced and satisfying snack.

Our producers prioritize:

• Organic and responsibly grown ingredients
• Careful, small-batch production

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this granola bar different?

Unlike many granola bars, this recipe uses ancient Andean grains like kiwicha and quinoa, along with nuts, seeds, and dried fruit to create a richer texture and more balanced flavor.

What is panela?

Panela is unrefined cane sugar widely used in Latin America. Because it is minimally processed, it retains natural molasses notes that give baked goods a deeper, more natural sweetness.

What is kiwicha?

Kiwicha, also known as amaranth, is an ancient Andean grain cultivated for thousands of years. It has a mild, nutty flavor and is valued for its nutritional qualities.

Is the granola bar very sweet?

No. The sweetness comes mainly from honey, panela, and dried fruit, creating a balanced flavor that feels satisfying without being overly sugary.
