🌱 Organic Quinoa is an herbaceous plant native to South America, widely used in Italy as an alternative to rice. Oltresole's organic white quinoa, in a convenient 5 kg format, comes from selected and certified organic crops, perfect for a healthy and balanced diet. 🌟 Superfood | 🍚 Neutral taste Rich in plant proteins and essential amino acids, quinoa stands out for its high nutritional value with a low fat content. It contains fiber, vitamins C and E, magnesium, potassium, iron, and omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, making it ideal for vegetarian, vegan, and low-calorie diets. 🥗 Ideal for bowls | 🔥 Quick cooking The white variety, compared to the red or black, has a more delicate taste and is suitable for many preparations. Before use, it is recommended to rinse the grains well under running water to remove the naturally present saponins. For optimal cooking: lightly toast the grains in a pan, then add 2 parts water for each part of quinoa, bring to a boil and cook on low heat for 10–12 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed. Quinoa can be enjoyed as a base for salads, as a rice substitute, or as an ingredient for veggie burgers, soups, fillings, and alternative desserts.
