Organic Quinoa White
What is Quinoa (Quinoa)
It has been cultivated for 5000 years in the areas of today's Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Chile. It was the basis of the diet of South American Indians living in high mountain areas. Quinoa, as one of the few plants, is able to survive at altitudes exceeding 3000 m above sea level. Thanks to its properties, it is called the "mother of all grains".
Quinoa belongs to the same plant family as, for example, spinach and beetroot. Related to the extremely popular and valuable Amaranth and Canihu. Belongs to the group of superfoods products.
How to prepare quinoa
Boil 1 cup of quinoa for 2 cups of water (for cooking red or black quinoa we use slightly less water, i.e. half a glass) and salt a little. After approx. 12-15 minutes, white tails appear from the beans. This means that our quinoa is almost cooked. After removing it from the fire, leave it covered for about 15 minutes, until the Quinoa is sufficiently swollen and absorbs the remaining water.
Quinoa is an extremely versatile product, and its delicate flavor goes well with many dishes. It can be eaten hot or cold, as an addition to salty and sweet dishes, salads, soups, casseroles, vegetarian cutlets, and even desserts.
