Trader Joe's Organic White Quinoa, 454g

Farmers harvest TJ’s White Quinoa in May at an altitude of about 12,000 feet. They then carefully wash, rinse, dry, clean, and sort the crop by colour before packing it for shipment to our stores. Organic White Quinoa is a protein-rich alternative to rice, couscous, or pasta, and it’s gluten-free. This ancient grain has more than 5,000 years of history and was so prized by the ancient Incas that it earned the designation “the mother grain”. Unlike most grains, quinoa is a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids. It’s often cited as one of the best plant-based protein sources around.

Use Organic White Quinoa just as you’d use rice. It’s that easy, and it cooks faster, too! Combine it with black beans, corn, avocado, and a splash of freshly squeezed lime juice for a quick, light, and satisfying salad.
