White quinoa belongs to the amaranth family and is also known as Inca rice, rice beet, Inca grain, rice spinach, Andean millet, or Peruvian rice. White quinoa has been cultivated in the high plains of the Andes for 6,000 years. In these unique altitudes, very few other plant species thrive, making quinoa, alongside amaranth, the main source of income for the people in the Andean regions. Quinoa is partially harvested by hand. The plants are cut with a sickle and arranged in bundles to dry.
Usage: White quinoa is characterized by its mild, slightly nutty flavor. It pairs well with vegetables, fresh herbs, and absorbs spices particularly well. The small white quinoa grains cook fluffy and separate, making them suitable for use like rice or couscous. White quinoa is ideal as a fine side dish, an ingredient for creative salads, or as an extraordinary stir-fry dish.
