Details

As more and more customers turn to cleaner, more purposeful eating, it's important to fill your menu with healthy, simple ingredients that cater to their needs while allowing you to create delicious meals. This fully cooked tri-color quinoa pouch from Furmano's makes it easy for you to add a nutritious and tasty ancient grain to your menu! Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wa) is a South American grain that has been cultivated and eaten for thousands of years. It has recently gained popularity in the health food community as a nutrient-dense substitute for other grains like rice and pasta. Quinoa is a plant-based complete protein, meaning it contains all 9 essential amino acids, which makes it a great way for vegetarians and vegans to get the nutrients they need without consuming any animal products! Plus, it's naturally gluten-free, so it's suitable for folks with Celiac disease, wheat allergies, and gluten sensitivities. It's also high in dietary fiber, magnesium, B vitamins, iron, potassium, calcium, and other nutrients and antioxidants. In addition to being a nutritional powerhouse, quinoa is also full of tasty flavor! It has a nutty, earthy taste that makes a great complement to soups, stews, and casseroles. When cooked, it has a fluffy yet almost-crunchy texture; the grains "pop" slightly when chewed.

This fully cooked quinoa makes it easy to create a multitude of recipes while saving valuable preparation time in your kitchen. While raw quinoa can take up to 30 minutes to cook, this quinoa is fully prepared - all that's left for you to do is combine with other ingredients and serve! This trendy grain can also be served as part of any meal of the day, making it a versatile addition to your menu. To create a healthy and delicious quinoa breakfast bowl, briefly simmer this quinoa with dairy or plant-based milk until the quinoa has absorbed the milk slightly. Serve this oatmeal substitute hot or cold; you can top it with eggs, turmeric, wilted spinach or kale, tofu, nuts, chia seeds, and other healthy ingredients that are sure to catch the eye of your health-conscious patrons! This quinoa also makes a delicious side any time of day; it's a healthy and nutritious alternative to rice and other processed grains. Try throwing some quinoa in your soups and casseroles to add volume and nutrition to your signature recipes! This fully cooked quinoa is stored in a convenient, easy-to-open, shelf-stable pouch, making it easy for you to offer delicious quinoa any time. To heat, it is recommended to steam the product while it is still in the pouch.
