WHAT IS QUINOA? Do you know?

Quinoa (pronounced "keen-wa") is an ancient protein-packed gluten-free grain - actually a seed - that contains all 9 essential amino acids! It can be substituted for rice or is yummy mixed with rice. It is grown as white, red, or black quinoa. At Organic Flour Mills we offer NZ-grown spray-free red quinoa and now organic WHITE quinoa too - at a lower price!

Yes! Great News ...

We now stock organic white quinoa grown in the South Island of NZ - which we mill into organic white quinoa flour. 

We pack our white (and red) quinoa in our exclusively GF millroom in order to avoid any cross-contamination with gluten.

Please store all grain in a COOL place - preferably in fridge or freezer.
(This will prevent weevil infestations!)

Quinoa is great for anyone who is plant-based, vegan, vegetarian, sensitive to gluten, coeliacs - but in fact it is a good source of protein for everyone - including you too!

• Quinoa has a low GI (Glycaemic Index) and is high in fibre.
• Quinoa contains omega 3 so is good for keeping triglycerides (bad cholesterol) down and doesn't spike blood sugar.
• Quinoa is healthier than couscous or rice, providing the complete protein your body needs (just like our buckwheat does). 

Try our New Zealand grown quinoa today - our organic white quinoa is on a great low price too!

Quinoa is easy to cook - just rinse thoroughly (or soak), then simmer as you would rice, for 15 mins, then turn off heat and let sit for 10 mins till all the grains have "popped" open.

Country of origin: New Zealand.
