Organic Quinoa
 
Known to Bolivians as “the mother grain,” our organic white whole grain Quinoa is gluten-free and pre-washed to remove the bitter and soapy taste from saponin, a chemical compound that forms naturally in a variety of plant species. With saponin removed, quinoa becomes an extremely versatile grain that can be prepared in minutes and enjoyed in a variety of recipes. It can be milled into flour for cookies and pasta, cooked as-is for a delicious side dish to any meal, or as a refreshing salad ingredient.
 
Quinoa is a good source of vitamin B-6 (.2mg per serving), which helps support the immune system, and it’s high in folate (83mcg), which has a role in bone marrow health. Quinoa is also a good source of iron (2.1mg), magnesium (89mg), phosphorus (206mg), zinc (1.4mg), thiamin (.162mg) and riboflavin (.143mg).

 
Making Flour from Organic Quinoa
