Black quinoa is tasty, nutritious, versatile and easy to cook in just the same way as white quinoa.
Cooking instructions
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.
Black quinoa has a firmer texture than white and the two work well blended for salads or as a rice or couscous alternative.
