Superfoods
Superfoods are one of Peru’s greatest natural resources, domesticated and cultivated for centuries in the Andes and Amazon. Rich in bioactive compounds, vitamins and minerals, these crops are recognized worldwide for their nutritional density and functional properties.
Villa Andina’s Superfood portfolio is built on two strategic pillars: direct coordination with smallholder farmers to ensure optimal harvest timing, and low-temperature processing that preserves delicate bio-markers and sensory characteristics. This approach guarantees nutrient-dense, clean-label products that meet the highest standards of the global food and nutraceutical industries.
By managing a short and fully traceable supply chain, Villa Andina delivers consistent quality and reduces the risk of cross-contamination. At our processing facilities, first-class technology ensures product purity and microbiological safety.
From farm to fork, Villa Andina offers a risk-free product and supply chain.
