How to: Quinoa - FAQs
Is quinoa a grain?
Quinoa may look like a grain, but it’s actually a type of seed known as a pseudo-cereal. Despite this, it is still classified as a wholegrain food, which means it is rarely processed, aids digestion, and is full of nutrients.
Is quinoa gluten free?
High in protein (14g per 100g) and fibre (7g per 100g), with a nutty flavour and crunchy texture, quinoa is an excellent gluten-free alternative to rice and pasta.
How to store quinoa?
Uncooked quinoa can be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to two years. Take the quinoa out of its original packaging and move it to a sealable container made of glass or plastic. Give the seeds a sniff before cooking them. They should smell neutral, so any odd odours indicate that they shouldn’t be used.
How long does cooked quinoa last?
Cooked quinoa can go rancid very quickly if left at room temperature. Chill it as quickly as possible in the fridge, where it will last for up to six days, provided it’s stored in an airtight container.
Can you freeze quinoa?
Cooked quinoa can also be frozen for up to a year, however look for evidence of freezer burn before thawing and eating it.
