Quinoa, Chenopodium quinoa, is cultivated in high altitude regions known for dry climates and mineral rich soils. The small, round seeds range from white and red to black, each offering subtle differences in texture and flavour.
When cooked, quinoa becomes light and fluffy, with a delicate nutty taste and slight natural sweetness. The grain is valued for its high protein content and complete amino acid profile.
