Bob's Red Mill Organic Quinoa Flour 510g

Organic Quinoa Flour (pronounced quinoa) is one of the most nutritious grain flours available. Quinoa was a staple food for the South American Indians living in the high altitudes of the Andes Mountains and was renowned for its superior nutritional properties. The Incas called it the “Mother of All Grains” and it had spiritual significance to them. Many traditions and ceremonies surrounded the cultivation, harvesting, and consumption of quinoa. The widespread demand for grains has led the rest of the world to create a number of quinoa-derived products, including grains and flours. This nutrient-rich grain is an excellent source of complete protein, providing all the essential amino acids. This mighty little grain is a great addition to any diet, but it’s also an ideal solution for those following a gluten-free or vegan diet..

This flour is also an excellent choice for those looking for a healthier twist on standard baked goods and fried favorites like breads and pancakes. You can substitute half of all-purpose flour in many recipes, or replace wheat flour entirely in cake and cookie recipes. Quinoa flour adds a unique, nutty flavor to your favorite baked goods. It pairs well with fruits, nuts, and spices like cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, and coriander, as well as herbs like rosemary..
