Description:

Quinoa has a crunchy texture and nutty flavor and adds these sensory benefits to gluten free diets. Quinoa seeds are flat, oval-shaped and grown in three variants – white (pale yellow), black and red. Depending on how the seeds are cleaned, the taste can vary from bitter to sweet. Our quinoa is washed and air dried, which removes the bitter tasting saponins.

The year 2013 was designated “The International Year of Quinoa” by the United Nations, because of its potential to contribute to food security worldwide.

Health Benefits:

• May help to reduce blood sugar and cholesterol levels
• May support a weight loss program due to complete protein and high fibre
• Safe and healthy for those with gluten intolerance
• May support overall immunity due to its high antioxidant activity – higher than cranberries

How to Use:

Quinoa is usually boiled and consumed as a side dish in place of rice or potato, as a breakfast porridge, added to salads, or used to thicken soups.

The seeds can also be sprouted, ground and used as flour, or they can be popped like popcorn. Quinoa is also an excellent food for young infants.
