Puffed Quinoa

Product Details

Puffed Quinoa has an airy, crisp texture and pleasant toasted taste that’s delicious added to granola, snack mixes and baked goods, or eaten as a nutritious breakfast cereal. It is naturally gluten free and therefore suitable for those with gluten allergies and celiac disease.

Quinoa is a grain-like seed, related to beets, Swiss chard and spinach. It was widely used by the Incas, and has been grown in Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Chile for centuries. The Quechua name for Quinoa translates to “Mother Grain” or “Super Grain,” due to its superior nutritional profile.

Quinoa grows on three- to nine-foot-tall magenta stalks. The large seed heads can be nearly any color – red, orange, purple, green, black and yellow are all common. The plant is resistant to drought and grows well in poor soils without irrigation or supplementation.
