A rare Pasankalla variety organically grown on family plots at 12,500 feet in the Andes. Mechanically de-saponized, mountain spring water washed. Slightly sweeter than white quinoa. Quinoa has the most complete amino acid profile of all grain. It cooks in just 12 minutes and is delightfully fluffy. An ideal entre, in soups, stews, salads, desserts, and baked goods. Eden quinoa received Grocery Headquarters 2009 'Trailblazer Award' and Vegetarian Times 2010 "Foodie Award". Rich in fiber, folate B9, and magnesium, and a good source of protein, iron, thiamin B1, and riboflavin B2. 100% whole grain. Packaged in a reclosable, protective, standing pouch. Gluten free.
