Truefarm Organic Red Quinoa, 250 g

About the
Product

Quinoa is treated like a grain but is actually a seed. Traditionally grown
in South America, it is now to be found around the globe, with Indian farmers
adopting the crop in 2013. Unlike many of its counterparts, Quinoa offers 24g
per 100 of complete protein as it contains the whole range of vital Amino
acids from which others are made. This makes quinoa ideal for vegetarians and
vegans alike who can rely on the grain to deliver a welcome protein boost
into their everyday diet. Truefarm Quinoa also contains fibre as well as
Vitamin B3, but it’s especially noted for its high content of manganese,
zinc, phosphorous, potassium, iron, magnesium and vitamin B6. Quinoa comes in
three colours – white, black and red – and many people prefer the slightly
nuttier flavour of the darker varieties. To cook Truefarm quinoa, first rinse
it in cool water before bringing it to the boil, covering and simmering for
10-15 minutes. Add a little stock or spices to the water if you like.
