Elemento Foods

The philosophy in forming Elemento Foods was to source and market plant-based foods and products that were of elementary benefit for nutrition and good health. The Amazon River basin, with head waters in the Andes of South America, is famous for a richness of plant species and remarkable that so many had been long known to the Incan civilization many centuries before the European conquistadores had arrived.

History shows that the Incas depended upon potato, tomato, beans, cacao (chocolate), cassava, papaya, peanuts, pineapple, squash, amaranth and maize; none of which our modern world could now do without. Lesser known plant species, commonly used in Incan times, like Quinoa, Sacha Inchi and Chia, have been re-discovered and brought to prominence in only very recent times.
