Heirloom White Quinoa, 16 oz.

Quinoa has been called "the mother grain" and "the gold of the Incas" and it has been cultivated in the Andes for over 5,000 years. It’s not a grain but a seed, though it is used in the same ways as other whole grains. 

Quinoa is high in protein, fiber, and nutrition, making it a "superfood." Quinoa should be rinsed before cooking for the best taste. Our quinoa is also sproutable. Quinoa is a versatile grain: its great on its own as a side dish, makes a wonderful grain to blend in to salads for a protein boost, and can be cooked and eaten as a high-energy breakfast cereal. 

1 cup dry quinoa yields about 3 cups cooked quinoa.  To cook 1 cup quinoa, you need about 2 cups liquid and it takes about 20 minutes.  Also, add about 1/4 teaspoon sea salt to each cup dried quinoa when cooking.
