Quinoa


Quinoa (pronounced 'keen wah') is actually a seed, but commonly classified as a grain. It has a light, delicate flavor. The grain is flat and oval with pointed ends. Varieties range from yellow to red, brown and black.

When talking about the whole grain (and we are) it MUST be rinsed before you use it – or it can make you ill. You can also buy it flaked for hot cereal.

Quinoa can be purchased at your local health food store in the bulk section.
