Red Quinoa is one of many varieties of the quinoa grain (technically seed) whose popularity has skyrocketed in the recent years. But how does it differ from White and Black Quinoa, except for its color? Well, comparing Red Quinoa vs White, the later has a very light texture and is fluffy when cooked, while Red Quinoa holds its shape better and has a more distinct flavor. Looking at Red Quinoa vs Black Quinoa, the first one takes less time to cook and has a milder taste, while Black Quinoa presents with earthy notes. Red Quinoa is somewhere between Black and White varieties: it has a nutty flavor and texture that works great for recipes.

The Nutritional Profile of Red Quinoa

Red Quinoa is classified as a superfood for a reason. It contains more protein than other grains, including barley, wheat, and rice. Red Quinoa protein content (8g per cup of cooked seeds) makes it perfect for those who follow a plant-based diet. In addition, it is loaded with dietary fiber, all nine amino acids, and essential minerals like Thiamine, Riboflavin, Manganese, Folate, Copper, and Potassium. Red Quinoa calories content is 222 per cup of cooked grain which is similar to rice’s. Eating Quinoa may have a positive impact on your metabolism and heart health.

How to Use Red Quinoa

Incorporating Red Quinoa into your diet is a fantastic way to start eating healthier. You can use Red Quinoa as you would any grain. Firstly, it’s an amazing side dish that goes well with meat, veggies, legumes, gravies, and fish. Second, Red Quinoa makes a wonderful morning porridge especially when accompanied by nuts and fruits, or eggs and even savory veggies. Furthermore, Quinoa is widely used in Vegan baking due to its high content of protein. Finally, try combining Red Quinoa with your salads – it will add extra crunchiness and nutritional value. At Food to Live you can buy Red Quinoa in bulk bags which is super budget-friendly. Moreover, if tightly sealed, quinoa can be stored for up to 2 years.

How to Cook Red Quinoa

1) Rinse 1 cup of Quinoa.

2) Combine 1 cup of Quinoa and 2 cups of water (you may also add salt and herbs).

3) Bring to a boil and reduce the heat

4) Simmer for 15 mins

5) Fluff with fork and serve or use in your Red Quinoa dishes

If you have a pressure cooker:

1) Rinse and drain your Quinoa.

2) Mix 1 2/3 cups of fresh water and 1 cup of Quinoa.

3) Cook on high pressure for 2 mins.

4) Allow the pressure release naturally for 10 mins.

5) All ready!

Super Food

This quinoa is very clean, packaged well and is priced better than what I can access locally. 20lbs is a large amount of quinoa, but it freezes well in original packaging.
