Product Highlights
- Quinoa is a species of the goosefoot genus (Chenopodium quinoa), a grain crop grown primarily for its edible seeds. It is a pseudocereal, similar in some respects to buckwheat, rather than a true cereal, as it is not a member of the true grass family. As a chenopod, quinoa is closely related to species such as beetroots, spinach and tumbleweeds. As a member of the Amaranthaceae family, it is related to and resembles amaranth, which is also a pseudocereal. After harvest, the seeds must be processed to remove the coating containing the bitter tasting saponins. It is 100% natural and vegan. It has a mild and slightly nutty flavor. It has a fluffy texture that is somewhat chewy. It also tastes similar to brown rice but has a nuttier earthy flavor. Weight : 500 g Store in a cool dry place.
