FAQ
Why should I rinse quinoa before cooking?
Quinoa has a natural saponin coating that tastes bitter. Rinse thoroughly in a fine sieve under cold running water until the water runs clear before cooking.
How do I cook black quinoa?
After rinsing, simmer for approximately 15 minutes until tender – black quinoa keeps more crunch than white or red, so expect texture rather than fluff.
How does black compare with other quinoa?
Black is the earthiest and crunchiest; Red Quinoa is firm but a little softer, and Organic Quinoa Grain (Tri-Colour) gives you white, red and black in one pack.
This 1.5kg Stock & Prep value pack comes in a non-resealable bag – decant into an airtight container after opening to keep it fresh. Black quinoa is currently available in this size only; for other colours in multiple sizes, see the Organic Quinoa Grain listing.
