Description:
Larutan Organic Quinoa is sourced from organically cultivated quinoa seeds, valued for their balanced nutritional profile and versatility. Naturally gluten-free, it serves as a wholesome grain alternative.
Organic quinoa is a highly nutritious pseudocereal, celebrated for being a complete protein source containing all nine essential amino acids. It is gluten-free and packed with fiber, which aids digestion, promotes satiety, and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Quinoa is rich in vital minerals such as manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, and folate. The high antioxidant content, including quercetin and kaempferol, helps reduce inflammation and combat oxidative stress throughout the body.
Produced responsibly, it reflects Larutan’s commitment to nutritious and sustainable foods.
Typical Use:
To prepare quinoa, rinse the grains thoroughly under cold running water using a fine mesh sieve to remove the natural coating called saponin, which can taste bitter. Use a 2:1 ratio of water or broth to quinoa. Bring the liquid to a boil, add the rinsed quinoa, then cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the grains look translucent with a small tail. Fluff with a fork before serving warm.
Combines well with: more commonly used as a savory addition to any dish, instead of any other of our Grains. Yet add our ultra flavorsome Coconut Milk in a pot. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until creamy. Add either savory or sweet toppings for a delicious breakfast; add fresh fruits or some of our finely chopped Dried Fruits any of our Nuts or Seeds, Cacao Nibs and top off with our Organic Coconut Flakes.
Or as more of a rich porridge, put 2 cups cooked Quinoa, 1 cup full-fat our popular Coconut Milk, a pinch of Pink Himalayan Salt, Walnuts, Nut Butter / Tahini and sweetener by adding our Dried Fruits or a spoon of Maple Syrup.
