Red quinoa has a heavier texture compared to white, making it taste nuttier and is a bit chewier. Red variety contains more fiber in comparison with the other two kinds (white and black), but overall has the same nutritional value as white quinoa.
In general, quinoa has a bitter and gritty outer coating called saponin, which needs to be rinsed away before cooking (under cold water for 30 seconds in a mesh strainer).
~ Though technically a seed, Quinoa is classified as a whole grain and is a good source of plant protein and fiber. One cup cooked provides about 8 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber.
~ Unlike some plant proteins, quinoa is a complete protein, meaning that it contains all nine essential amino acids that our bodies cannot make on their own. It is also an excellent source of many vitamins (especially vitamin B9) and minerals.
Quinoa is also naturally gluten-free and can be eaten safely if one has gluten intolerance such as celiac disease.

I love the smell and the flavor is good. Thank you!

Good quality, pre-washed, and very fresh!

My only hesitation in buying this was the reviewers getting soon-to-expire product. Mine expires in ~20 months. Just thought i'd share my contrasting experience ! Yummy stuff, i've only had the tri-color in the past, i figured i'd try this out - it's a couple bucks cheaper, why not right ? No regrets - will buy again.

I bought this quinoa because my Kroger's charges so much for any type of quinoa, so it's always better for me to buy in bulk. Rather than shop around my city trying to find a decent buy, I purchased this. Very happy! I only made it once this far, but turned out perfectly when I followed the directions. Very nice starch substitute now that I'm not eating rice and pasta as I did in the past.
