Gourmet Super Foods Red Quinoa

Considered by the Inca's as the 'mother of all grains' our red quinoa is the ultimate superfood, which shouldn't be missing from your pantry. This delicate flavoured grain with a neutral taste, contains all 9 essential amino acids including magnesium, iron, calcium, fiber and is regarded as a complete protein. Naturally gluten free, we recommend serving quinoa as a substitute for rice, as a salad with vegetables and dressing or as a base for soups. To prepare our quinoa, simply add 1 cup of uncooked quinoa to 1 3/4 cups of water. Bring to a boil in a medium saucepan, reduce to low heat, simmer for 15-20 minutes or until tender and the water has been absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let it cool before serving.
