Incas Food Organic Quinoa from Peru 15 oz

This versatile grain has many uses! It is enjoyed with milk as a breakfast cereal, toasted and served like rice, or ground as a flour to enhance baking. This package comes with a recipe for Pork with Quinoa. Unlike other grains, it is a complete protein with high iron, potassium and riboflavin levels. When cooked, the grain becomes delicate in flavor, soft and creamy, with a crunchy tail (a spiral created by the exterior germ during cooking). The grain has a bitter coating of saponin, which is removed through washing to make the grain palatable. Cooks toast or roast quinoa and then cook it before adding to soups, stews or rice, or making it into snacks, cereals and bread, which can contain 15% to 20% quinoa flour.
