Organic Tri-Color Quinoa is mild and nutty and it makes a great substitute for rice, couscous or even oatmeal. First cultivated in the high mountain plains of South America over 5,000 years ago, Quinoa provides an almost unimaginable combination of great taste and nutrition. As a complete protein, with all eight essential amino acids, it can be a meal all by itself. If you believe a food this nutritious must be lacking in taste, you're in for a great surprise. Simple, healthy, delicious and easy to prepare!
