Description

Tricolor quinoa is a blend of three different quinoa varieties—white, red, and black.

Black quinoa has a more neutral flavor and is slightly sweeter than the others. Red quinoa, on the other hand, has a fuller taste and a slightly chewier texture, making it a popular choice for cold salads, as it retains its shape better after cooking. White quinoa is ideal if you are looking for a lighter, fluffier result.

Although quinoa is technically a small, edible seed, it is considered a complete grain and a very good source of dietary fiber. It is a whole-grain food, meaning the entire seed can be consumed without removing any part to enhance flavor. As a result, most of its fiber and valuable nutrients are preserved.

Quinoa has a relatively neutral taste, allowing for many easy and versatile culinary options. Tricolor quinoa can be used in the same way as bulgur, couscous, or rice. However, it should be thoroughly rinsed with plenty of water before use. It can be enjoyed on its own or mixed with your favorite vegetables and herbs.
