Organic Quinoa Flour

Organic quinoa flour is made from quinoa, a seed grown in the Andes Mountains of South America. The quinoa seeds are typically ground into a fine powder to create the flour. It is considered a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour.

Quinoa flour is used as a gluten-free baking ingredient in products like cookies, crackers, and muffins. It can also be found in pasta and baby foods, adding a nutritional boost and a slightly nutty flavor.

Quinoa flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein, fiber, and various micronutrients. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated quinoa and its components, but specific evaluations of quinoa flour's health effects at typical consumption levels are limited. Evidence suggests it can be part of a healthy diet, but no specific health claims are approved.
