Located in the city of Lincoln, province of Buenos Aires, Kwezi is a company that manufactures functional gluten-free foods, such as whole wheat flours, premixes and snacks. 

Among its products, the following can be mentioned: wholemeal white sorghum, wholemeal Yamani rice, and teff, white sorghum, Yamani rice wholemeal flours, and also wholemeal universal premix (with white sorghum and Yamani rice wholemeal flour), teff brownie premix, pop sorghum and vegetable medallion premix with flour and pieces of white sorghum. Kwezi has a production capacity of 50 tons per year. Every product of Kwezi has the "Gluten Free" certification, issued by the Ministry of Health of the Province of Buenos Aires. 

Kwezi cultivates conscientiously and produces intelligently, taking care of every detail of the process, for example, after cleaning and classifying the cereals, ground in a specially designed mill, according to the ancient design of stone mills, which, with slow movements, avoids overheating, preserving the nutrients and flavor of the flour.

The INTI provided technical assistance in the development of teff flour, a very ancient cereal of African origin from the family of millet, with several nutritional properties. They also worked on the development of sorghum flour, pop sorghum, Yamani rice wholemeal flour and the hulling of the whole grain of white sorghum. 

Carina Margaria, director of Kwezi, said: “we are practically the only ones in Latin America that produce teff flour, which is highly required for its nutritional properties. One of its main characteristics is that it provides slow absorption carbohydrates, which offers long-lasting energy, this is why it is highly consumed by athletes, due to its satiety effect. On the other hand, it is one of the few cereals which has vitamin C,” added Margaria. 

They are currently working to introduce their products in the United States, Europe and Asia. 

She remarks: “We are eager to satisfy customers who are increasingly committed to environmental care, who seek a healthy lifestyle and who care about the origin and process of the food they consume.”
