What it is

White quinoa is a type of quinoa, which is a flowering plant in the amaranth family. It is grown for its edible seeds, which are cooked and eaten like a grain. Quinoa originated in the Andes region of South America and is now cultivated worldwide.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use white quinoa as a whole grain ingredient, adding texture and nutritional value to foods. It is commonly found in packaged meals, side dishes, grain blends, and baked goods. Its mild flavor makes it versatile in various culinary applications.

Health notes

White quinoa is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for food use. It is a good source of protein, fiber, and various micronutrients. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated quinoa, and EFSA has also assessed its safety. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming quinoa at typical dietary levels.
