01. about us
‘Solid Food’ is a social enterprise that produces quinoa in Ayacucho, Peru and sells it in Europe to the food industry, wholesalers and retailers. The transport from Peru to our warehouse in Antwerp, Belgium is climate neutral thanks to the use of bio fuel. Thanks to our direct collaboration with 500 quinoa farmers in Peru and our vertical integration, we can guarantee 100% traceability and achieve a major social impact. This is what makes us unique and can also offer a big win for you.
Ayacucho is a region in Peru known for its top quality quinoa: excellent taste, large grains, beautiful colors, very easy to use in many applications, etc. We offer quinoa as dry grains (all colors, organic or conventional), but also quinoa flakes and quinoa flour (in bulk, for the industry) and quinoa dry mixes and ready-to-eat quinoa mixes (for retail, under private label). More details on our products.
Solid Food is a vertically integrated company: we are producer, processor, exporter and importer (without any intermediaries). Solid Food exists of the entities Solid Food Peru SAC (sourcing & processing in Ayacucho, Peru) and Solid Food Europe BV (warehouse & sales, in Antwerp and Ghent, Belgium).
As a social enterprise, we have both business goals and social goals, in alignment with Solid’s mission in Peru: contributing to the economic and social development of Ayacucho.

03. our story
discover the mother of grains
At Solid Food, we honor the tradition and the origin of this precious seed. Indeed, technically quinoa is a seed and not a grain. Our quinoa is produced strictly in the very heart of Peru; Ayacucho and by true locals.
a win for Ayachuco’s local farmers
These incredible local farmers do a marvelous job and produce your quinoa. Their enormous efforts do not go unnoticed and therefore we support them all the way. We empower the local community and help them to improve their living conditions by offering trainings, technical assistance and the financing of local projects. We spend 25% (!) of our profits to our social projects.
a win for you
We create not only a great product. We also deliver a worry free service, thanks to a very intense vertical integration; which by all means results in a massive win for you.
Our new factory in Ayacucho will be our next huge asset because all quinoa is preserved perfectly and stock is carefully monitored.
a win for your customer
Great food tastes even better when produced with a warm heart and care.
