Keen on quinoa? It’s easy to see why this tiny superfood has earned a place in so many healthy kitchens.
Naturally gluten-free and packed with goodness, quinoa is one of the few plant foods that contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. It’s also rich in fibre, protein and important minerals, helping to create nutritious and satisfying meals. Its impressive nutritional profile is so highly regarded that even NASA astronauts have enjoyed quinoa as part of their space mission diets!
Think quinoa only comes in white? Think again! This versatile grain is grown in a rainbow of colours, including red, black, purple, pink, yellow and green. While the colours vary, they all offer the same versatility and nutritional benefits that quinoa is known for.
Preparing quinoa is simple. Give it a good rinse, then cook 1 cup of quinoa in 2 cups of water or stock until fluffy and tender. Add it to salads, grain bowls and stir-fries, or serve it as a wholesome alternative to rice with your favourite meals.
Whether you’re looking to boost your protein intake, add more fibre to your diet, or simply try something different, quinoa is a fantastic ingredient to keep on hand.
Even better, until Wednesday 26 August, white quinoa is available for just $12.08 per kilo!
