Quinoa is a versatile, complete protein whole grain that has all 9 essential amino acids necessary for human growth and development. Quinoa also contains more protein than any other grain. Quinoa is now widely known as one of the most complete natural foods on planet earth (because of its balanced profile of amino acids, enzymes, vitamins and minerals, fibre, antioxidants, and phytonutrients).

Red and black quinoa have a crunchier texture that is suitable for salads, whereas white quinoa has the lightest texture and tends to cook up fluffier, suitable as a substitute for rice. The unique black or red color is due to the presence of anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants known to protect the body against chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc.
