Cultivating the World's Finest Quinoa
13,000 feet up on the arid, desolate Solar De Uyuni salt flat of Bolivia, traditional Quechua and Aymara farmers tend to fields of highly coveted "quinoa real," or royal quinoa, on ancient variety grown only in this very spot.  his pearl-shaped, nearly perfect nutrition source was so revered by the Incas that they called it "chisaya mama" or "mother grain."  Our Royal Red Quinoa adds a nutty, nutritious bright spot to any meal.

Made in Bolivia

1 cup quinoa and 1-1/2 cups liquid equal 4 servings.  Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear.  Place rice and water or stock in a medium saucepan.  Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until liquid is absorbed and grains are soft, about 25 minutes.  Flavor tip:  before adding liquid, saute rice in pan with a dash of oil until slightly roasted, about five minutes.
