What it is
Organic quinoa flakes are made from the seeds of the quinoa plant, which is grown in the Andes mountains of South America. The whole quinoa seeds are steamed and then rolled into flat flakes. This process makes them quicker to cook than whole quinoa.
Why it's used
Quinoa flakes are used as a source of carbohydrates and protein in foods. They are often found in breakfast cereals, granola bars, and baked goods like cookies and crackers. Their mild flavor and quick cooking time make them a versatile ingredient.
Health notes
Quinoa is considered a whole grain and a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids. It is a source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Quinoa is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. International bodies like EFSA have also evaluated quinoa and its components.
Allergen info
Quinoa is not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. It is also naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
