Katan Kitchens/ Quinta Quinoa
Katan Kitchens is an innovative, health food enterprise that seeks to produce local, high-quality SuperFoods in Ontario for the ‘Food for Health’ market. Founded in 2011, Katan has emerged as a leader in the research and development of quinoa in Ontario over the past four years. Jamie Draves formed Katan after a health crisis in 2007 that resulted in the loss of a third of his pancreas. From this, Jamie was forced to follow a very limited diet consisting of high-quality, nutritious foods. Many SuperFoods, in particular, quinoa, were a key factor in regaining his health. Realizing the use of high-quality foods for improved health drove Jamie’s passion and pursuit to form Quinta Quinoa, and its sister research company, Katan Kitchens, and demonstrate the value of SuperFoods for a healthy diet. We now aim to produce and prepare the highest quality Ontario-grown quinoa in the marketplace.
