What it is

Whole grain red quinoa is a type of quinoa, a grain-like seed, that has a reddish-brown color. It is grown in the Andes region of South America and is harvested and processed for food use. Red quinoa is known for its slightly firmer texture and nuttier flavor compared to white quinoa.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use whole grain red quinoa as a nutritious ingredient in packaged foods. It adds texture, color, and a boost of protein and fiber. It is commonly found in grain blends, side dishes, and entrees.

Health notes

Whole grain red quinoa is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and various micronutrients. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated quinoa for additive purposes as it is considered a whole food. Evidence suggests that consuming whole grains like quinoa as part of a balanced diet is associated with positive health outcomes.

Allergen info

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