Quinoa is an ancient grain originally from the Andes region of South America which is becoming more and more popular now due to its excellent nutritive content. With exceptionally high protein levels (12%-18%), a wide variety of essential amino acids, and no gluten, it is an ideal choice for vegetarians, vegans, and those on restrictive diets. Quinoa is also high in fiber, iron, and magnesium and is considered easy to digest. This Quinoa is organically grown.
Applications: Quinoa grain is coated in saponins which help prevent it from being eaten by animals as they are extremely bitter. It is important to remove these from the surface of the grain prior to cooking by rinsing it thoroughly. We also recommend lightly toasting quinoa in the oven prior to cooking it for extra flavor. Once cooked quinoa is an excellent substitute for couscous, rice, or bulgur. Simmer each cup of quinoa in two cups of water for 15 minutes. When ready the grain will pop releasing its curly bran. Each cup of dry quinoa yields 2 cups cooked.
How to Store and Share: Please keep grains in a cool, dry place.
