Tri Color Quinoa

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.

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.

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.
