Organic Red Quinoa 2lb by Hatton Hill

HATTON HILL ORGANIC RED QUINOA Red quinoa, like its white and black cousins, is a gluten-free seed used like a wholegrain – like rice or couscous – in cooking. All three varieties are native to South America and were a staple food of the ancient Incas. Quinoa is hugely popular among vegetarians and vegans, but in recent years has burst into the mainstream as a superfood for all. PURE, PREMIUM PRODUCT Hatton Hill Organic’s red quinoa is grown and harvested in the highlands of Bolivia, one of the areas in which it was first cultivated at least 5,000 years ago. It has a nutty flavor whose slight bitterness is stronger than that of white quinoa and contrasts with the earthier, slightly sweeter taste of black quinoa. USES Hatton Hill Organic’s red quinoa can be used almost any dish in which you can use rice or couscous, and then some. It’s also a particularly pairable ingredient in salads – from green, leafy mixes through coleslaws, and more exotic creations such as various takes on traditional Thai som tham (green papaya salad) – soups, stews, gratins, pilafs, burgers, and more, adding depth of flavor and an appealing dash of color. MOTHER GRAIN Named chisiya mama (mother grain) in the Quechua language of the Andes, quinoa has a rich nutritional profile, providing super-high levels of protein that includes all nine amino acids, alongside healthy doses of dietary fiber, phosphorous, magnesium, iron, and omega-3.
