What it is

Tri-color quinoa is a blend of three varieties of quinoa seeds: white, red, and black. Quinoa is a flowering plant in the amaranth family, grown for its edible seeds. The seeds are cooked and consumed as a grain, though botanically they are a pseudocereal.

Why it's used

Tri-color quinoa is often used as a base for grain bowls, salads, and side dishes, offering a visually appealing and nutritious alternative to rice or pasta. Its slightly nutty flavor and varied textures make it a versatile ingredient in both savory and sweet applications.

Health notes

Quinoa is recognized as a good source of protein, fiber, and various micronutrients. It is not an additive requiring FDA approval but is considered a whole food. International bodies like WHO/IARC have not specifically evaluated quinoa for carcinogenicity. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

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