What it is
Whole quinoa flour is made from ground, whole quinoa seeds. Quinoa is a grain-like crop grown for its edible seeds, originating from the Andes region of South America. The flour retains the entire grain, including the bran and germ.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use whole quinoa flour as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in baked goods. It adds a slightly nutty flavor and can improve the nutritional profile of products like breads, muffins, and cookies. It is often found in gluten-free bread, pasta, and snack products.
Health notes
Whole quinoa flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of protein, fiber, and various micronutrients. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated quinoa and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming whole quinoa flour at typical dietary levels.
Allergen info
Quinoa is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is naturally gluten-free.
