Product Details

Quinoa is not really a cereal at all, but it is an edible seed from chenopodium, a grain like crop which has these nutritious seeds. Quinoa can be used as the carb part of any meal using it where you would use rice, pasta, potatoes or couscous. Quinoa is often referred to as nutritious because it is rich in amino acids and of course quinoa is so simple to prepare and tastes so fluffy and creamy with a slightly crunchy texture. You'll just have to try it to know what I mean.

Serving Suggestion

Use as a side dish, in salads, to make veg croquettes and for stuffing vegetables etc.

Cooking Instructions

Rinse and strain. Place in a pan of water, bring to the boil , add salt if you need it, although you find it tastes great without, and simmer for 10-15 mins.Turn off the heat and let it rest for 5-6 minutes. When cooked the grain releases its white germ.

Ingredients

Just organic quinoa grain and nothing else.

Light Nutty Fantastic - Sun 21st Aug 2011
I have tried quinoa several times but found this one to be the best. I am not a fan of red quinoa so this white only one works well for me. The instructions are simple and the result is a light and slightly nutty accompaniment to whatever dish you are making. I use as an alternative to rice but it also works great in salads!
