Fair Trade, Organic, Gluten Free Red Quinoa

Quinoa is an ancient cereal grain that grows in the Andes Mountains of South America, and has been cultivated in the region for more than 5,000 years. Locally referred to as the 'mother grain' and as a protein powerhouse; it kept the Incan armies strong and robust. Quinoa is nutritionally charged and is considered one of the best sources of protein and amino acids by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. A great vegetarian alternative, red quinoa, as well as being particularly nutritious, is a light grain with a delicate taste. This nutritious, gluten-free quinoa is naturally fragrant and is perfect for couscous, pilaf or salad.
