What it is

Organic black quinoa is a variety of quinoa, a grain-like seed cultivated for thousands of years in the Andes region of South America. It is known for its slightly firmer texture and nuttier flavor compared to white or red quinoa. The seeds are typically harvested, cleaned, and then packaged for sale.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic black quinoa as a whole grain ingredient, adding texture, protein, and a slightly nutty flavor to foods. It is commonly found in grain bowls, salads, side dishes, and baked goods like breads and muffins.

Health notes

Organic black quinoa is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of fiber, protein, and various micronutrients. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated quinoa, and EFSA has also reviewed its nutritional aspects. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming quinoa at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Quinoa is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is naturally gluten-free.
