Black Quinoa (14 fl oz)

Description:

An ancient wholegrain in the amaranth family. Earthy, nutty, and in a gorgeous black-Zibari Black Quinoa retains its shape incredibly well during cooking, offering an irresistible hearty crunch, complete with a hint of molasses-like sweetness when bitten into. A godsent in cold dishes like salads. Wondering how this quinoa differs from the white variant? Black quinoa has an ‘earthier’ flavor and tends to be a little sweeter than the white. Despite its distinctive flavor profile and texture, black quinoa is nutritionally-similar to the commonly-available quinoa variety: white quinoa. Meaning that it’s high in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals (which are all good for you!).

Preparation tips

Rinse 1 cup of Zibari Black Quinoa and transfer to a heavy-bottomed pot. Add 2 cups water and a pinch of salt, then bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat and simmer until liquid is absorbed-about 20 minutes. Black quinoa typically takes a little longer to cook than white quinoa, so keep your eyes peeled for its doneness. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Uncover, and fluff with a fork.
