Quinoa, Rainbow, Wild Rose Farm

Description

Farmer Blake Richard has been cultivating quinoa in the Humboldt and Mendocino regions since 1992. Rainbow quinoa is a nutritious, visually appealing blend of white, red, and black quinoa, offering a slightly nuttier, earthier flavor and firmer texture than white alone. It combines the fluffy texture of white with the chewier, crunchier bite of red and black, making it ideal for salads and savory dishes. The farm specifically grows and sources beautiful rainbow quinoa, used in products like Quinoa Tempeh Burgers.

Quinoa is rich in vitamins E, B2, B6, folic acid, manganese, copper, iron, potassium, and magnesium.

Cooking instructions: Rinse 1 cup of quinoa thoroughly in ample running water, Boil 1½ cups water or broth and add rinsed quinoa and ½ tsp salt (optional). Simmer on low with cover for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, let sit for another 10 min with the cover on, then fluff and serve. (Cooks up 3 times its original volume.)
