Quinoa Like No Other

Alter Eco Quinoa ("keen-wah") is an ancient grain that has been cultivated in the Andes Mountains of South America for more than 5,000 years. Locally referred to as the "mother grain" and as a "protein powerhouse," it kept the Incan armies strong and robust.

Light and fluffy when cooked.

Gluten free, whole grain.

Considered one of the best sources of protein and amino acids by the United Nations.

This nutritious quinoa is naturally fragrant and is perfect for a pilaf, tabouli or salad. For a colorful disk, mix this Pearl Quinoa with Alter Eco Red and Black Quinoa.

Preparation

one cup of quinoa for 4 people

Rinse the quinoa thoroughly and drain. Add one cup of quinoa to 1-1/2 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer until all water has evaporated. Fluff with a fork.

15 min

For a more defined texture, sauté the quinoa in a tablespoon of Alter Eco Olive Oil before adding water and cooking...voilà a pilaf!
