BLACK QUINOA - 350 GR SACHET

🌿 Quinoa is a seed grown for more than 5,000 years in the highlands of the Andes between 2700 and 4000 meters above sea level. Like potatoes, quinoa was essential in the diet of the Incas. 🌞HARVESTING PROCESS The seeds are harvested in the highlands of Peru by the CAGMA cooperative, a producer of Andean seeds, and committed to fair trade and organic farming. The cooperative brings together producers who need to sell their products at a good price for the development of villages and to get out of great poverty. ⚡️NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS Naturally gluten-free, quinoa is an excellent source of vegetable protein. Rich in fiber. Rich in vitamins, antioxidants, minerals and trace elements (iron, copper, potassium, phosphorus, manganese...). Quinoa promotes intestinal and cardiovascular health. Black quinoa is richer in lithium, a metal that plays the role of mood regulator and helps prevent depression! 🧑‍🍳 PREPARATION TIPS Rinse with water before cooking. Dosage: 1 part quinoa for 1.5 parts water. Put the quinoa in a pan of cold water before bringing to a boil. Do not pour quinoa into boiling water! Then cook for 20-25 minutes over medium heat. Black quinoa lends itself more to salads and cooked dishes. Much rarer than the red and white varieties, it is easily found in quinoa trios. The texture of black quinoa is more crunchy than that of red quinoa and its taste more intense; it also takes a little longer to cook. Its taste on the plate is more earthy.
