There’s a reason White Quinoa is so popular. Each bite has a soft, buttery, natural taste that doesn’t compare to many other grains. Even when added to anything from soups and salads to stuffing and pilaf, quinoa’s flavor is approachable and fitting to the paired ingredients.
It’s also rich with health benefits that have become trendy among customers in restaurants near and far. White Quinoa has all 9 essential amino acids (officially designating it as a “supergrain”), and just ¼ cup has 6 grams of protein. This makes it a new favorite among customers who are looking for high-protein grains and seeds.

Grain History
Quinoa is an Andean plant, originating in the area around Lake Titicaca in Peru and Bolivia. Quinoa was cultivated and used by pre-Columbian civilizations and was replaced by cereals on the arrival of the Spanish, despite being a local staple food at the time.
