Red Quinoa Seeds
Red Quinoa Seeds have a rich history dating back thousands of years. They were first cultivated in the Andean region of South America by the ancient Incas. Red quinoa seeds are harvested from the Chenopodium quinoa plant. The seeds are carefully cleaned and processed to remove the bitter outer coating called saponin.
These seeds are highly nutritious and versatile. They have a slightly nutty flavour and a chewy texture. Red quinoa can be cooked and used in a variety of dishes, such as salads, stir-fries, and grain bowls.
