Manor Springs Organic White Quinoa is technically a seed, not a grain, but it is used like a whole grain such as rice or couscous, for which it is an excellent replacement and is naturally gluten-free. Quinoa – known as chisiya mama (mother grain) in the Quechua language of the Andes – is native to South America and was a staple food of the ancient Incas at least 5,000 years ago. Nowadays it’s hugely popular among vegetarians and vegans, and has more recently burst into the mainstream as a superfood for all. Our Organic White quinoa is more mile in flavour than the red and black varieties, and it can be used almost any dish that would otherwise suit rice or couscous, thanks to its light, fluffy texture. It is also great in salads – from green, leafy mixes through coleslaws and more exotic creations, and can take the place of red or black quinoa in soups, stews, gratins, pilafs, burgers and more, requiring a shorter cooking time than those varieties.
