Lotus Quinoa Grain Black Organic 500g

Lotus Quinoa Grain Black Organic 500g is certified organic black quinoa with a slightly earthier flavour. The 500g pack is sourced internationally and packed in Australia for salads, stir-fries and suitable dishes where quinoa replaces rice or couscous. The black grain is the defining choice, rather than the fine powder of quinoa flour or the flattened form of quinoa flakes.

Choose black quinoa when you want that grain and flavour in the finished meal. Whole grain, flour and flakes are different recipe formats even when they share the quinoa name. A 500g bag can be divided into measured batches for cooked salads or meal sides, according to the recipe you use.

Cook as directed by the pack or a black-quinoa recipe, then use in a salad, stir-fry or side dish. This product is certified organic, gluten free, vegan and non-GMO. Other ingredients in the meal will determine whether the finished dish fits the same dietary preferences. Black quinoa gives the meal a named grain and a slightly earthier flavour, rather than simply adding an unspecified dry ingredient. A salad, stir-fry and side dish can each use a prepared batch differently. The 500g amount suits measuring the grain required by the particular method. Choosing black quinoa is also a format choice: quinoa flour and flakes are different starting ingredients, so use the whole grain when that is what the recipe expects.

A grain dish is easiest to plan when the grain form and the cooking method agree. Whole, cracked, rolled and milled formats can all have different preparation needs, so start with the exact form named by the recipe. Cook the amount you need for a side dish or for combining with other ingredients. If swapping grains, consider the finished texture and flavour as well as the dietary requirements of everyone who will eat the meal.

Packed in a facility that also processes peanuts, tree nuts, milk, soy, sesame seeds and lupin.
