Quinoa
Red quinoa is distinguished from white quinoa by its deep burgundy-red seed coat, which imparts a slightly earthier, nuttier flavour and a firmer texture that holds its shape better after cooking — making it the preferred quinoa variety for salads, grain bowls, and food formulations where visual definition and textural interest are key design parameters. Like all quinoa, it provides complete plant protein and is naturally gluten-free. Sourced from Bolivian and Peruvian growing regions, certified organic and Non-GMO.
