Grown by Andrew and Peter Fairs in the fields of Essex, our quinoa is deliciously nutty and light. It's easy to cook and perfect for salads, as a side dish, in soups or for baking.
Our white quinoa is unpolished and wholegrain, retaining its full flavour and nutrition with a creamier colour than more highly processed quinoa.

Delicate quinoa is tasty, nutritious, versatile and easy to cook.
Rinse, cover with 1½ to two parts water or stock for each 1 part quinoa, bring to the boil and then simmer on a very low heat for 15 minutes. The grains will absorb the water and swell to 2 to 3 times their original size. Fluff the grains apart with a fork.

Very happy to find this quinoa both wholegrain, nourishing and grown in UK! This is the best quinoa i have ever tasted. Usually I don't like the taste of quinoa but this is the exception.
what's not to love, maximum nutrients including protein, whole grain complex carbohydrate proving slow release energy, gut health from high fibre, you can do anything with this quick to cook versatile grain it stands alone like rice or makes burgers, side dishes, stir fries, risotto, paella, jambalaya, kedgeree and ad infinitum!! And forget not, it's cousin fat hen, was found in the stomach of the neanderthal; like barley we deeply understand this grain.
Quick and easy to cook, totally nutritious, endlessly adaptable, this stand alone, gentle, tasty grain also loves any flavours you care to grace it with!!!

These are great but I do struggle with trying to toast them and then getting them to gel. Any tips from anyone would be gratefully appreciated. I dry toast them in a pan but they do stick a bit as I do not use non stick.
We love these Brazil nuts, not just their provenance which deserves a fabulous all by itself, but they are delicious!! Tasty and moist. Keep well in the freezer and we take out smallish amounts out and have a few every day. Eagerly awaiting next arrivals.
I haven't used these in any recipe yet, just pre-soaked and cooked with a teaspooon of miso. They are really delicious with a lovely soft texture, the skins don't interfere with the enjoyment. I think they would be good in so many recipes but if I don't stop picking at them I won't get to know this time round. It's brilliant to be able to try beans from other cultures and while these are more expensive than some, quite honestly by the time you've soaked and cooked beans you get so many from a packet they are always a bargain.
This blend is a winner! So nutritious and delicious! Easy to cook too. Beautiful !
By chance while travelling, we've ended up in the little restaurant of Aitana and Sarah at Felin Uchaf in Wales and fell in love with the place, their food and cook book! I've ordered it here already a few times to give it to friends...
