Quinoa Mix

Quinoa is a grain-like seed that comes from the quinoa plant, native to the Andes region of South America. It is typically cooked by boiling, similar to rice or other grains. Quinoa is known for its fluffy texture and slightly nutty flavor.

Quinoa is often used as a base for salads, bowls, or as a side dish. Manufacturers add it for its nutritional value and texture. It can be found in various prepared foods like deli salads, grain bowls, and side dishes.

Quinoa is a nutrient-dense food, providing protein, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals. It is not a major allergen and is generally considered safe for consumption. Regulatory bodies have not set specific limits for quinoa as it is a whole food, not an additive.
