\nDescription<\/strong><\/p>\n
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 \u2013 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.<\/p>\n
The year 2013 was designated \u201cThe International Year of Quinoa\u201d by the United Nations, because of its potential to contribute to food security worldwide.<\/p>\n

Pronounced as Keenwah, these seeds are classified under a category called pseudo-cereals, which is a seed that is prepared and consumed like a grain. The difference though is that Quinoa is higher in nutrients than most grains and thus still classifies as a \u2018wholegrain\u2019. Quinoa also has one of the most diverse compositions of amino acids, making it a complete protein.<\/p>\n
