RiceSelect® White Quinoa
INGREDIENTS: WHITE QUINOA

- 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
- 1 teaspoon butter or olive oil (optional)
Bring water to a boil. Add salt and butter, or olive oil, if desired. Stir in quinoa. Cover with lid; reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand (covered) for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork and serve. Yields approximately 3 1/4 cups.
White Quinoa: Surprisingly Decadent
Quinoa’s unmistakable chewiness, subtle flavor profile, and ease of preparation make it a phenomenal accompaniment to bold ingredients and experimental cooking techniques. White Quinoa begs for creative culinary application, standing out in baked delights like our recipe for Quinoa Swiss Chard Roll Ups in Tomato Sauce, or as a refreshing and simple cereal-like base in our Breakfast Bowl with Tahini Dressing. Prepare it as a filling and protein-packed layer for quinoa salads and bowls both sweet and savory, stuffings, or to sauté with vegetables.
Ingredients impart their essence when prepared together, making it an ideal accompaniment for bold or complex flavors. If you’re merely using quinoa as a rice substitute, you’re missing out on worlds of culinary potential. Undiscovered flavors await!

Quinoa vs. Rice
Although it is classified as a whole grain, quinoa is a Gluten Free seed, where rice is a grain. Rice comes in three grain length, short (such as sushi rice), medium (such as risotto rice), and long grain (such as Texmati®). White Quinoa cooks in 15 minutes and provides 6g of protein, 5g of fiber, 29mg of calcium, 2mg of iron, and 20mg of potassium in every serving.
