ORGANIC BLACK QUINOA ROYAL

Yupik Organic Black Quinoa is going to shake up your cupboard staples! Black Quinoa is a grain crop grown for its edible seeds; it cooks in a classic 2:1 ratio. Once cooked, quinoa transforms from solid black to a deep brown color. Quinoa is tender and seedy in texture, while mildly nutty and earthy in flavor. The two differences between black quinoa and white or red quinoa is color and cooking time; black quinoa needs an additional five minutes in cooking time. Like most grains, black quinoa can be used in both baking and cooking applications! Buy Organic Black Quinoa by 500g, kilo, or case to keep your cupboard well-stocked with this pantry must-have!
