What it is

Whole grain black quinoa is a type of seed from a plant native to South America. It is a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids. The seeds are typically cooked and eaten as a grain.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use whole grain black quinoa for its nutritional value and texture. It is often found in packaged meals, side dishes, and grain blends, adding a slightly nutty flavor and a chewy bite.

Health notes

Quinoa is recognized as a nutrient-dense food. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not established specific regulations for quinoa as a food additive. International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have not specifically evaluated quinoa in the context of food additive safety assessments.

Allergen info

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