Lotus Quinoa Red
Quinoa originated in the Andean region of South America, where it has been an important food for 6,000 years. Quinoa was of great nutritional importance in pre-Columbian Andean civilizations, being secondary only to the potato, and was followed in importance by maize.
Quinoa contains a balanced set of essential amino acids for humans, making it an unusually complete protein source among plant foods. It is a good source of dietary fiber and phosphorus and is high in magnesium and iron. Quinoa is gluten-free and considered easy to digest.
Cooking Suggestions
To cook, use two parts liquid to one part quinoa. Combine the liquid and toasted quinoa in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the grains are translucent and the germ has spiraled out from each grain, about 15 minutes.
Red quinoa is delicious when served either hot or cold and is extremely versatile, as it may be used to substitute almost any other grain. Red quinoa has a delicate nutty flavor and a unique texture. It is a colorful addition to any salad, side dish or casseroles.
