About GreenFood50 B.V.
Greenfood50 is a specialist in quinoa ingredients, focused on supplying food manufacturers with locally grown, high-quality quinoa products. The company grows quinoa in the Netherlands and Belgium using low-saponin varieties adapted to the European climate, and it manages the supply chain from grower to customer.
Its positioning combines local cultivation, clean-label processing, and food safety. Greenfood50 emphasizes that its quinoa is free from EU-14 allergens, additives, preservatives, and GMOs, and that it is produced in certified facilities with full traceability. The company serves a range of food applications, from baby food and bakery to meat alternatives, sauces, meals, and sports nutrition.
Core Values
- Quality and food safety: Greenfood50 prioritizes high-quality quinoa ingredients produced in GFSI-certified units, with additional certifications and controls supporting food safety, traceability, and compliance.
- Clean label: The company emphasizes ingredients that are 100% quinoa, non-GMO, and free from additives, preservatives, and chemical processing agents.
- Sustainability: Local cultivation, low-input farming, reduced transport distances, and lower-impact processing are central to the company’s sustainability approach.
- Traceability: Greenfood50 manages the supply chain from grower to customer, giving it full visibility and control over product origin and handling.
- Ethical sourcing: The company highlights fair compensation for growers and SEDEX registration as part of its responsible business practices.
Unique Aspects
- Exclusive local varieties: Greenfood50 uses new low-saponin quinoa varieties developed by Wageningen University & Research and says it is the exclusive license holder for these varieties in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg.
- Locally grown in the Benelux: The company grows quinoa in the Netherlands and Belgium, which supports regional agriculture and reduces transport distances.
- Whole-grain, low-saponin processing: Because the quinoa varieties are very low in saponins, Greenfood50 can avoid traditional desaponising steps such as polishing, washing, and drying, helping preserve whole-grain characteristics.
- Certified supply chain: The company states that its quinoa is produced in GFSI-certified facilities, with organic certification for its organic chain and SEDEX registration for ethical business practices.
- Broad application focus: Greenfood50 positions its quinoa ingredients for multiple food categories, including baby food, bakery, meals, meat replacers, sauces and spreads, and sports nutrition.
