Organic Quinoa

Weight: 500g

Quinoa is tiny, bead-shaped, with a slightly bitter flavor and firm texture. The Incas have known it all along, for thousands of years regarding it as the 'mother grain' as they grew it high up in the Andes.

Unlike wheat or rice, quinoa is a complete protein - containing all eight of the essential amino acids. It has been recognized by the United Nations as a super crop for its health benefits: packed with dietary fiber, phosphorus, magnesium, and iron. It is also gluten-free and easy to digest. The facts suggest it is close to a perfect ingredient as you can get.
