Organic Tri-colour Quinoa £1.29p/100g

Organic Quinoa Grain (Tricolour) is a combination of 70% White, 15% Red & 15% Black Quinoa is incredibly popular as it adds colour to meals such as salads and stir-fries.

Organic Tricolour Quinoa is made by a balanced combination of organic white, red and black quinoa. The darker colour and earthy grain-like flavour of the black and red quinoa is balanced with the softer texture and lighter flavour of the white quinoa. This results in a colourful, nutritious combination of texture and flavour.

Quinoa contains no gluten ingredients and is a good source of protein, rich in essential amino acids, vitamins B2, E and A and contains more iron than any other grain

Thoroughly rinse before cooking to remove its outer coating (called saponin). If not rinsed, this can leave a bitter and soapy taste once the quinoa is cooked. 

To cook, just prepare as if it were rice - cover with water or vegetable broth and simmer over medium heat until soft, about 12 minutes, giving it a couple of quick stirs.

Then just add some veggies and a dressing to make an easy quinoa salad, or swap out white rice for quinoa to serve with any kind of vegetable stir-fry or substitute it in any fried rice dish.

For a fast and simple side dish, drizzle over some olive oil, sea salt and lemon juice or a bit of garlic and add a touch of nutritional yeast or parmesan cheese.

Quinoa also makes a great hot breakfast cereal, similar to oatmeal.

If you cook a little extra, pop it into an airtight container in the fridge or freezer, and you'll have some ready to toss it into any dish for added texture and nutrition.

Store in a cool dry place away from sunlight.
