Organic Black Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) has a nutty texture and is similar to organic red quinoa in texture so makes for vibrant salads and side dishes. Organic black quinoa is a source of protein so is a popular choice with vegans and vegetarians. It contains all the essential amino acids needed for human nutrition.

This variety can take a little longer to cook than organic white quinoa and organic red quinoa and holds its shape more so goes particularly well in salads or mixed grain dishes. This means it is higher in nutrients and protein than most grains. Quinoa is high in Manganese and a source of Folate, Magnesium, Phosphorus and Copper (per 120g serving).
