White, red or black quinoa?
White quinoa has the mildest flavor and the softest texture, so it suits most applications. Red and black quinoa are slightly firmer and add color, which is why they are often blended with white quinoa or with rice and other grains. All three are fully cooked, with the same nutrition and certifications.
