organic black quinoa

A gluten-free nutty-tasting grain that is high in protein and natural fibre and is lower carbohydrate to regular white rice. Can also aid in lowering cholesterol and glucose levels, making it perfect for diabetics. Cooks quickly and makes the perfect addition to salads or as a rice replacement. Add the quinoa to a pan with a ratio of 1 cup quinoa:2 cups water (or stock). Cook on medium heat for 12 minutes with the lid on. Once the time is up remove the lid and fluff up with a fork like couscous. Enjoy! Cooked quinoa can last in the fridge for up to one week so super easy to add to lunches and dinners. Store dry quinoa in an airtight container in a cool and dry place.
