ORGANIC WHITE QUINOA

Known as pseudo-cereal, this pack of raw, organic White Quinoa ( sourced from Peru ) has a sweet, nutty flavor with a delicate chewy texture that makes it a great healthy substitute for your pasta and rice. Of all the Quinoa colors, White Quinoa has the lightest texture and cooks up a bit fluffier.

HEALTH BENEFITS: 

For such a tiny seed, White Quinoa has a lot of protein. Tagged as one of the few plant sources of COMPLETE PROTEIN --- containing all nine of the essential amino acids your body needs. It's a great source of minerals like iron magnesium, zinc, and phosphorous. If you're aiming to lose weight, TGT Organic White Quinoa is a great rice alternative. Its high fiber content, protein, and low glycemic index have all been linked to increasing metabolism and improved health.

DID YOU KNOW? 

We cook and eat quinoa like many other grains, but botanically speaking, it's a relative of spinach and beats! The part we eat is the seed, cooked like rice! And yes, there are over 100 kinds of Quinoa!

HOW TO STORE: 

When it comes to uncooked quinoa, keeping it completely dry is the most important thing. Transfer TGT White Quinoa to an airtight container after opening. Then place it in your pantry, in a dry, cool place. Once you cook quinoa, the leftovers should go into the fridge and may last up to a week! Never let cooked quinoa be at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
