Tricolor Quinoa

Tricolor Quinoa is a blend of white, red and black quinoa that is as nutritious as it is beautiful. 100% whole grain, quinoa brings iron, fiber, and complete protein to the table.  Tricolor quinoa (red, yellow, and black) was once called “the gold of the Incas in Peru” for increasing the stamina of Inca warriors. Quinoa has a light, fluffy texture when cooked, and its mild, slightly nutty flavor makes it an alternative to rice or couscous.
