Quinoa

Quinoa is a versatile, nutrient-dense seed known for its light, fluffy texture and mild, slightly nutty flavor. Often cooked similarly to grains, it becomes tender yet retains a subtle chewiness when boiled, making it a great base for salads, bowls, and side dishes. Its earthy taste can be enhanced with spices or herbs, complementing both savory and sweet ingredients. Quinoa is a complete protein, gluten-free, and packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making it a popular choice for health-conscious diets. Available in various colors—white, red, and black—each variety has slight differences in texture and taste.
