There is virtually no flavor difference between red, white and black quinoa, but we have to admit, the stunning red color of ours elevates the appearance of your food and makes it all that much more appetizing. Aside from hue, red quinoa can take a bit longer to cook than the standard white variety and the red shell retains its slightly crunchy texture which can lend a nuttier flavor to your dish. A spectacular base for grain bowls and a beautiful addition to salads, use this red quinoa wherever you want a complete protein grain.
