Organic Tri Color Quinoa

Organic tri-color quinoa is a blend of three varieties of quinoa seeds, typically white, red, and black. Quinoa is a flowering plant in the amaranth family, grown for its edible seeds. The seeds are harvested, cleaned, and often lightly processed to remove the natural saponin coating before packaging.

Quinoa is used as a nutritious grain substitute or addition in various dishes. Manufacturers add it to packaged foods for its texture, mild nutty flavor, and nutritional profile. It's commonly found in grain blends, salads, soups, and side dishes.

Quinoa is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for food use. It is a good source of protein, fiber, and various micronutrients. While no specific health concerns are associated with typical consumption, it is a carbohydrate-rich food. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated quinoa as a foodstuff.
