Details

This White Toque fully cooked organic red quinoa pouch makes it easier than ever to fill your menu with healthy and trendy dishes! Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wa) is a South American grain that has been cultivated and eaten for thousands of years. It has recently gained popularity in the health food community as a nutrient-dense substitute for other grains like rice and pasta. Quinoa is a plant-based complete protein, meaning it contains all 9 essential amino acids, which makes it a great way for vegetarians and vegans to get the nutrients they need without consuming any animal products! Plus, it's naturally gluten-free, so it's suitable for folks with Celiac disease, wheat allergies, and gluten sensitivities. It's also high in dietary fiber, magnesium, B vitamins, iron, potassium, calcium, and other nutrients and antioxidants. In addition to being a nutritional powerhouse, quinoa is also full of tasty flavor! It has a nutty, earthy taste that makes a great complement to soups, stews, and casseroles. When cooked, it has a fluffy yet almost-crunchy texture; the grains "pop" slightly when chewed.

This fully cooked quinoa makes it easy to create a multitude of recipes while saving valuable preparation time in your kitchen. While raw quinoa can take up to 30 minutes to cook, this quinoa is fully prepared - all that's left for you to do is thaw, combine with other ingredients, and serve! This trendy grain can also be served as part of any meal of the day, making it a versatile addition to your menu. It can be served plain as a side, or it can be used as a base for salads, soups, or main dishes. You can even use it to make breakfast bowls or sushi! Whether you serve it on its own or incorporate it into a signature dish, this fully cooked quinoa is sure to be a hit in your establishment.
