Rancho Gordo Black Quinoa

Full of protein, full of flavor, gluten-free, and adaptable to almost any cuisine, quinoa has taken over as the grain of choice for many of us. It cooks quickly and works as a replacement for rice, couscous, or pasta. Don't forget to add it to soups and stews! The black variety is different and takes a little longer to cook than the golden. All are whole grains. In North America, we tend to use it as a grain or as a couscous substitute. In other parts of the Americas, you'll see it as part of soupier dishes or savory gruels.
