Organic Quinoa - pronounced 'keen-wa' - is a nutritious grain-like seed that is naturally free from gluten, rich in essential amino acids, vitamin B2, E and A, and contains more iron than any other grain.
Quinoa is one of the only known grains that provide all the essential amino acids needed by the human body. It is a quick cooking alternative to rice. Perfect for salads and can even be served as porridge.
What is the difference between RED Quinoa, and WHITE Quinoa?
Apart from the colour, red and white quinoa are very similar and can be used in the same recipes. Red quinoa has a slightly more fibrous texture and is a little crunchier once cooked. It will take about the same time to cook both types of quinoa. This is the same with black quinoa.
All grains should be rinsed thoroughly under running water before cooking, and any dirt or foreign matter that has made its way to you from the farm should be removed. Store in a dry, airtight container at <25C.

No GMO. Preservative and additive free.










As it grows, the seed is coated with a dark, almost black layer of 'saponin' that has a bitter, soapy taste. Saponin is the plant's natural defence against insects, birds and other small animals that might want to eat it on the stock. Once harvested, the seeds are removed from the stalk, cleaned of any dirt and bacteria, rinsed to remove the saponin and packaged.
No insecticides or pesticides are used during the growing process and no preservatives or additives are used during the processing of the product at any stage.
