It's a delicious, nutrient-rich altemative to rice or couscous. Our organic quinoa is grown wild and free of any pesticides and chemicals. Organic black quinoa with an attractive, naturally dark color with the same great flavor and complete nutritional value, is earthier and sweeter-lasting than white quinoa and maintains its black color when cooked.
