Moinhos Vieira manufactures industrial hammer mills for grinding quinoa, serving everything from small operations to large-scale industrial processes.

Our equipment is successfully used for the particle size reduction of quinoa, allowing different levels of grinding according to the needs of each process.

With extensive experience in industrial grinding, we carry out practical tests with quinoa to evaluate equipment performance and help select the most suitable solution for each application.

**Quinoa** was a staple food for the South American Indians and cultivated mainly in the Andean countries and is called **“The Golden Grain of the Andes”**.

**This powerful little grain** is an ideal solution for those following a **gluten-free**, vegan or vegetarian **diet**. **Quinoa flour** is also an excellent choice in standard baked goods and pan-fried favorites like breads, pancakes and waffles. You can substitute this flour for half of the all-purpose flour in many recipes, or completely replace wheat flour in cakes and cookie recipes. Quinoa flour gives its original flavor, sometimes similar to nuts, which adds a very distinctive taste to any recipe.

**Moinhos Vieira** has several customers who use its **mills to grind quinoa.**
