Grown in the mountains of the Andes ( Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia and Chile), it is an important grain for the Andean people, it has now become the wonder grain, consumed across the world, for the valuable mineral and vitamin content, more than any comparable grain. Our quinoa is grown wild and free of any pesticides and chemicals. While nutritionally similar to white quinoa, Sol Black quinoa has an earthy taste and lends rich colour to your recipes, Quinoa seeds have a protein balance similar to that of meat, fish, and milk, so they are an invaluable food for those who are on a vegetarian diet Sol Black Quinoa is rich in protein, and dietary fibre, with an earthy nutty flavour. Quinoa, the "mother grain," is an extremely nutritious seed. It has a protein value that is extremely high (12-18%) and the protein it supplies is a complete protein, meaning that it includes all nine essential amino acids. Quinoa is easy to digest and it is also a good source of dietary fibre, phosphorous, magnesium, and iron. Black and golden quinoa are nutritionally identical. This darker version of quinoa contains a good dose of folate, a B vitamin that is essential for healthy liver and nervous system function, as well as skin, hair, and eye health. It is also a good source of copper, manganese, and alpha-linolenic acid. Our Black Quinoa from Peru is slightly sweeter and crunchier than other varieties and boasts a stunning blaccolouror that lends a certain charm to classic recipes. Black quinoa is ideal for vegetarians, vegans and those with gluten intolerance.
