About Dry quinoa
Quinoa is a nutrient-packed seed native to the Andean region of South America, where it has been a staple in diets for thousands of years. Known as a "pseudo-grain" due to its grain-like qualities, dry quinoa is a versatile pantry staple available in white, red, black, or tri-color varieties. It's rich in plant-based protein, containing all nine essential amino acids, making it an excellent option for vegetarians and vegans. Quinoa is also a great source of fiber, magnesium, iron, and antioxidants, supporting digestive health and overall well-being. Naturally gluten-free, it suits those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease. Its low glycemic index makes it a smart choice for stable blood sugar levels. Quinoa has an earthy, nutty flavor and can be incorporated into salads, soups, or served as a side dish. However, rinsing it before cooking is recommended to remove its naturally bitter coating, saponin.
