Red Quinoa, Organic / 10 lb

Quinoa is an ancient grain with a promising future and widening popularity throughout the world due to its complete nutritional value. We source Red Quinoa from the South American highlands where it was first cultivated. Red quinoa has the same nutritional value and flavor as white quinoa but stays slightly firmer when cooked. The flavor is descried as a mild, nutty flavor. They are small, rusty red-colored grains that are naturally gluten free.

Quinoa has recently become popular, due not only to its nutritional value, but also its unique, delicate texture and flavor. When cooked, the thin germ that encircles the grain partially detaches from the seed and remains slightly crunchy, while the seed itself, pearly and translucent, becomes soft and fluffy. Quinoa has a slightly nutty flavor and is a good substitute for rice, couscous or bulgur in many dishes. It can also be ground into a flour for use in baking.
