About

Packed with nourishing plant-based goodness, in particular a rich content of dietary fibre and protein. There is no significant difference between each colour in terms of nutrition and taste, however they do slightly differ in their cooking time and chewiness. Black Quinoa is the crunchiest and most time-consuming to cook, while red quinoa sits somewhere in the middle. Great for those avoiding wheat, this organic black quinoa is easy to prepare and super versatile – simply use like any other grain.

Uses

To cook black quinoa, start by thoroughly rinsing it under running water until the water runs clear. In a pot, add a cup of quinoa and two cups of water or stock, cover the pot and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to simmer until all liquid is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes. Black quinoa can be served hot or cold as a salad base or a bed for stews and stir-fries. It is a great substitute for other rices, quinoas and couscous to provide a little exotic colouring and extra nutty crunch.
