Organic Quinoa - Gold of the Incas

Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is a light, fluffy, edible seed that feels and tastes more like a grain. Our quinoa is pre-rinsed so it is ready for cooking! Thanks to its mild, somewhat nutty and irresistible flavor, organic quinoa is an immensely popular food. But this "mother grain" is also valued for its tremendous nutritional content. Among the wholesome attributes that make quinoa grain special are:

12% to 18% protein, more than any grain
All nine essential amino acids
Gluten-free
High in dietary fiber
Good source of phosphorous, magnesium and iron

This power-packed nutritional combo helped give quinoa the name "Gold of the Incas" when it was cultivated thousands of years ago in the Andes; Incan warriors highly valued the crop for the energy and stamina it gave them.

Start with a Simple Quinoa Recipe

Cooking quinoa is extremely easy and fast. Just combine one part of our bulk quinoa with two parts water or broth, bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff it with a fork, and it's delicious and ready to serve as-is or with your choice of seasonings.

But this basic quinoa recipe is just the beginning. Cooked quinoa is similar in flavor, texture and consistency to both rice and couscous, but it is much more nutritious. Try substituting this superfood for rice or couscous in all sorts of recipes--stir fry, soup, casseroles and more-- to reinvent it as a high-protein meal.

Buy Quinoa for Special Diets

One of quinoa's greatest benefits is that it is so well suited to a wide range of dietary restrictions. As a rare complete protein in the plant world, it can be the cornerstone of nutrition for vegans and vegetarians who can't get protein from meat, fish, poultry or dairy. Our bulk quinoa is also naturally gluten-free, certified kosher and grown wild, free of all pesticides and chemicals.

And when you buy quinoa from Nuts.com, it arrives at your door pre-rinsed and free of the natural saponin that can give the cooked seeds a bitter taste.

You can also make quinoa flour by grinding the seeds.

Store quinoa in sealed plastic or glass containers in a cool, dark, dry cabinet. Quinoa will stay fresh for one year if properly stored.

“I am just blown away by how fast you guys ship! I ordered not even two full days ago and got my stuff today! Everything is so yummy! My kids love all the sugar free gummies (bears, butterflys, fish), the yogurt (sf) raisins are delish. The quality of your organic Quinoa is top notch...which is why I had to order a five pound bag! I look forward to placing future orders on Nuts.com. By far one of my favorite sites! God Bless!”

Naamah, rock hill, sc March 8th, 2012

“I received my shippment on time. I really like the dried apricots because they are chewy...I like snacks that are either crunchy or chewy! The chocolate-covered expresso beans are very tasty and the boiled peanuts are very enjoyable! Also, the 5 lb.-bag of quinoa I ordered cost less than what I would pay locally. I am quite pleased with the above products. Looking forward to getting more stuff!! ”
