One of our products, Organic Red Quinoa, is a highly nutritious seed that is not actually a member of the true grass family. Quinoa is closely related to species like beets, tumbleweeds, and spinach. It is known for its excellent nutritional profile and its nutty flavor and crunchy texture, making it a gut-friendly food as it is also gluten-free, allowing it to be easily enjoyed by those sensitive to gluten. Organic Red Quinoa is usually boiled and consumed as a breakfast porridge, a side dish, added to salads, or used as a thickening agent for soups and stews.

Organic Red Quinoa is an excellent source of carbohydrates and fiber. Almost 83% of its carbohydrates are starches, with the remaining being fiber and a small amount of sugar. Cooked quinoa consists of 21% carbohydrates and has a low glycemic index, meaning it won't cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels. The fiber in quinoa is mostly insoluble, making up around 80-90% of the total fiber content, which is higher than that of brown rice and yellow corn.

In terms of protein, Organic Red Quinoa provides 16% of protein by dry weight, which is higher than that of rice, barley, and corn. It is also a good source of complete protein, offering all the essential amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, which in turn are the building blocks of all body tissues. Quinoa is particularly high in the essential amino acid lysine, as well as methionine and histidine, making it an excellent plant-based protein source.

Organic Red Quinoa is also a good source of various vitamins and minerals, providing more magnesium, iron, zinc, and vitamin B than most common grains. One cup of cooked quinoa contains a significant amount of manganese, thiamine, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, riboflavin, folate, vitamin B-6, copper, potassium, iron, selenium, and vitamin E.

In addition to Organic Red Quinoa, Food to Live offers a variety of other nutritious products, including Royal White Quinoa, Buckwheat Groats, and Amaranth Grain, all of which are certified organic, non-GMO, and suitable for vegan diets.
