Black Quinoa

Black Quinoa is a nutritious whole grain with a slightly earthy, nutty flavour and a firmer texture than white quinoa. It is a versatile ingredient that can be used in salads, side dishes, soups, and main meals.

Store dry black quinoa in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Once cooked, refrigerate in a sealed container and consume within 3–5 days.

• ¼ cup (45 g) dry black quinoa per person as a side dish.

• Cook with ½ cup (120 ml) of water or stock per ¼ cup of quinoa (a 2:1 liquid-to-quinoa ratio).

• Simmer for 15–20 minutes, then let stand for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
