ORGANIC TRICOLOR QUINOA 1 Kg

Despite having the appearance of a cereal, quinoa does not belong to the grass family, but is the seed of a plant similar to spinach. The tricolor quinoa, coming from organic cultivation, from the Oltresole company is a mix of white, red and black quinoa seeds. White quinoa has a neutral flavour, while the red or black variety is characterized by a stronger and more intense flavour, giving this mix the right balance of taste and energy. Quinoa, naturally gluten-free, is particularly suitable for those following vegan or vegetarian diets. This food is rich in various nutrients, useful for the well-being of the body: fibre, mineral salts (magnesium, potassium and iron), Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Before being cooked, quinoa must always be rinsed under running water and then cooked for 10-12 minutes, then toast the grains to make it even tastier. It can be used to prepare delicious appetizers, light first courses or tasty vegetable-based soups. The Oltresole tricolor mix is ​​also an excellent base for making vegan burgers or meatballs or fresh and genuine salads.
