Serve
up an ancient grain that is as healthy as it is delicious with Bob's
Red Mill organic tri-color quinoa! Quinoa is a South American grain that
has been cultivated and eaten for thousands of years; it was so
important to the Incan empire that they referred to it as the "mother of
all grains" and believed it to be sacred. It has recently gained
popularity in the health food community as a nutrient-dense substitute
for other grains like rice and pasta. Quinoa is a plant-based complete
protein, meaning it contains all 9 essential amino acids, which makes it
a great way for vegetarians and vegans to get the nutrients they need
without consuming any animal products! Plus, it's gluten-free, so it's
suitable for folks with Celiac disease, wheat allergies, and gluten
sensitivities. It's also high in dietary fiber, magnesium, B vitamins,
iron, potassium, calcium, and other nutrients and antioxidants. In
addition to being a nutritional powerhouse, quinoa is also full of tasty
flavor! It has a nutty, earthy taste that makes a great complement to
soups, stews, and casseroles. When cooked, it has a fluffy yet
almost-crunchy texture; the grains "pop" slightly when chewed. At Bob's
Red Mill, they source the finest USDA certified organic white quinoa,
organic red quinoa, and organic black quinoa to create a beautiful
tri-color blend, then thoroughly rinse and air dry it to remove the
bitter outer layer.
Cooking quinoa is very similar to cooking
rice and other grains. To prepare, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, then
add 1 cup of quinoa and return to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to
medium and simmer until all the water has been absorbed, about 12
minutes. After that, remove the quinoa from heat, fluff with a fork,
then re-cover and let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
Quinoa is a versatile addition to a number of recipes, as well as a
hearty side that can stand on its own! If you're looking for a healthy
option to serve at your establishment, consider replacing your side of
rice with a side of quinoa for extra nutritional benefits. Quinoa can
also be included in delicious salads, casseroles, and even taco fillings
to add flavor and nutrition to your signature recipes! This tri-color
blend makes an eye-catching addition to your favorite recipes. You can
even toss raw quinoa into soups and stews and allow it to cook as your
other ingredients simmer together. No matter how you choose to prepare
it, this delicious Bob's Red Mill organic tri-color quinoa is sure to
become a staple in your restaurant, cafe, or catering business! This 25
lb. bag will keep you in good supply for all of your culinary needs.
