Quinoa flour is one of the most nutritious grain flours available. Quinoa was a staple food for the South American Indians and cultivated mainly in the Andean countries and is called “The Golden Grain of the Andes”, today it is recognized for its high nutritional quality content, much more than any other grain.
This powerful little grain is a great addition to any diet and an ideal solution for those following a gluten-free, vegan or vegetarian diet. Quinoa flour is also an excellent choice for those looking for a healthier portion in standard baked goods and pan-fried favorites like breads, pancakes and waffles. You can substitute this flour for half of the all-purpose flour in many recipes, or completely replace wheat flour in cakes and cookie recipes. Quinoa flour gives its original flavor, sometimes similar to nuts, which adds a very distinctive taste to any recipe.
