White Quinoa (5 lb)

Description:

An ancient wholegrain in the amaranth family. Of all the quinoa varieties, white quinoa has the most delicate taste and the lightest texture-somewhat like a pleasant cross between brown rice and oatmeal. Zibari White Quinoa cooks to be fluffy, creamy, crunchy, and somewhat nutty all rolled into one. Super-versatile! And introducing a weekly batch of white quinoa into your culinary rotation is a good idea for health. There’s a reason why quinoa is widely-termed as the ‘mother of grains,’ after all. It’s a high-protein, high-fiber wholegrain packed with all 9 essential amino acids, B vitamins, folate, calcium, magnesium, and a dizzying array of antioxidants. Eat good; feel good.

Preparation tips

Rinse 1 cup of Zibari White 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 15 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when each quinoa’s white germ begins to separate. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Uncover, and fluff with a fork.
