Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) is one of the healthiest, most nutritious foods on the planet. It’s naturally gluten-free, high in protein, and one of the few plant foods that contain all nine essential amino acids. It is also high in fiber, magnesium, B-vitamins, iron, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin E, and various beneficial antioxidants. Truly, a superfood in every sense of the word.

Quinoa is a grain crop that is grown for its edible seeds. It technically isn’t a cereal grain, but a pseudo-cereal. In other words, it is a seed that is prepared and eaten like a grain.

Organic Quinoa comes in three different colors – black, red, and white. A tri-colored mix of all three is also available. White quinoa has a neutral taste, while black and red quinoa are bolder in flavor.

Quinoa is higher in fiber than most grains and is a very good source of manganese. It is also a good source of phosphorus, copper, magnesium, dietary fiber, folate, and zinc.

Two flavonoids that have been particularly well studied, quercetin and kaempferol, are found in large amounts in quinoa. These important molecules have been shown to have anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-cancer, and anti-depressant effects in animal studies.

Organic quinoa is the perfect grain-free substitute for salads and other dishes. Serve as a side dish, in casseroles, for breakfast, or as a compliment to curry, grilled vegetables, or braised meat. And be sure to rinse the quinoa before cooking to reduce the bitter taste that comes with its natural coating.

Product meets or exceeds USDA guidelines. While the most modern equipment and standards are used when cleaning, processing, and packing this product, the contents of this bag are a natural product grown in the earth. It is not always possible to remove all foreign material. Please sort and rinse thoroughly before cooking.

Directions
1 cup quinoa to 2 cups boiling water. Begin by soaking quinoa in warm water for 5 minutes. Wash, drain, and rinse several times with clear water. Add quinoa to boiling water, cover, and return to a boil. Lower heat to simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Serve hot or cool to add to other recipes. (For an extra nutty flavor, place the dry grain in a dry frying pan, gently stir, and toast to a very light brown before adding to boiling water.)
