Wipala, The fresh Andean bar that comes from the middle of the world!
A quinoa & Andean Lupin bar mixed with Ecuadorian tropical fruits.

Guayaquil - Ecuador, June 21 - 2017.

What the Incas have in common with the astronauts? Both based their daily diet in Quinoa, taking advantage of the remarkable properties this “golden grain” offers. The food of the goddess and now the food of the future.  What if we told you that the Incas had more than one sacred grain?

Yes, It’s call Andean Lupin and it’s known as the “Vegetable meat” for it’s amazing 50% high quality protein per grain. Wipala (www.wipalasnacks.com), is the first company in the world that use this native andean grain on a healthy snack, in order to fulfill the nutritional needs of athletes, and people that love snacking good and tasty. For us “Less is more” so we’ve created an 8 clean ingredients bar that is Gluten Free, Non GMO, Vegan, Natural, Nut’s free, Soy free, Raw and so on. But what about the flavor? Just imagine choosing from Banana, Pineapple and Fine aroma Cacao just to start.

Wipala in Quechua, represents the emblem of the Andean culture and the union of it’s people. For us, Wipala became the opportunity to innovate from our origins creating healthy snacks with ancestral philosophy.

"Our roots taught us to work with the community. We joined small producers from the 3 main regions of Ecuador: Andean, Tropical and Amazonian to create a healthy snack with a strong sense of identity and conscience, preserving our ancestral rituals of cultivation.”

How did this company started? Well, with the experience and motivation to create, we decided to develop our college final thesis about Wipala. At that time, January 2014, we only had one thing: A big purpose. What started as a project ended up being our lifestyle. We are proud of our roots, and the respect for nature along with the empowerment of our small communities became the main axis of this venture.
