100% Organic Royal White Quinoa

Quinoa is a flowering plant in the amaranth family, grown for its edible seeds. The seeds are typically cooked and eaten as a grain, though they are technically a seed. Quinoa is native to the Andes region of South America and is now cultivated worldwide.

Quinoa is used as a nutritious alternative to rice or pasta, or as a base for salads and bowls. It can also be incorporated into baked goods, breakfast cereals, and snack bars. Manufacturers add it for its nutritional profile and mild, nutty flavor.

Quinoa is a good source of protein, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals. It is naturally gluten-free. Regulatory bodies like the FDA have not set specific limits for quinoa consumption, as it is considered a whole food. While generally recognized as safe, some individuals may experience digestive upset due to its saponin content, though this is usually removed during processing.
