Quinoa, black

Black quinoa is by no means a whim of nature, but was created by crossing it with the related giant goosefoot. The dark purple, almost black color is caused by anthocyanins. They prevent UV damage to the plant and bind free radicals. This characteristic of anthocyanins can even have an effect on humans. Here, too, a protective function is attributed to them. Black Organic Quinoa also has other cooking properties than the white variant. It remains firm to the bite even after cooking. The taste of the black seeds is very intense, savory, with an earthy undertone. Black quinoa requires a slightly longer cooking time than white and red quinoas due to its more fibrous structure. The black grains enhance dishes not only through their firmness. The appealing color is also very much in demand in creative cuisine.

Use

Black organic Quinoa goes well with savory pan-fried dishes, which it complements or contrasts with its distinctive aroma. Lovers of black quinoa will enjoy it with fruit, in their muesli or as a topping on salads. Curry dishes not only enhance the taste of the black pseudo grain, but also its appearance. The contrast between yellow and black tastes as interesting as it looks. The firm to the bite grains score points wherever the firm structure is appreciated or creamy, mushy dishes are to be loosened up. In the creative kitchen, black organic quinoa is in demand as a side dish, for example with white meat or colorful vegetables such as beetroot. Of course the black seeds can also be cooked to a popular porridge for bigger children and adults, if the strong taste is desired here.
